@VectorStyler Thank you, everything is working!! thank you

@EricP said in Setting a fixed rotation angle for multiple shapes: I see that I can just remove the transform effect from the shape effect list for the selected objects Yes, the Shape Effects panel can be used to manage shape effects of an object.

@VectorStyler yes

@VectorStyler thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for. So many hidden capabilities to discover. what's the purpose of the repeater icon 'check to apply shape effects to the repeater content' ?

yes I observed the same and found it excessive too. I think the scaling randomization picks a random value between 0 and 100.5%, which yields to extreme variation. Offset and rotation being in absolute values - not percent, the effect is easier to adjust precisely With only one cursor for scaling, maybe the variation in that case should be +/- 0.5% (99.5% to 100.5%) to remain more subtle.

FreeHand 9 apparently copies to the clipboard in the following formats: WMF, EMF, PICT (Mac only, DIB/Bitmap, FreeHand internal format You can reportedly copy in these formats via Copy Special: EPS, Adobe Illustrator 7/8, Bitmap, Text It seems the clipboard isn't well suited for use with Freehand and VectorStyler plus other modern tools, unfortunately.

Smart! Of course! Thanks!

@VectorStyler Thanks. I'll look into it later.

@VectorStyler That makes sense. Thank you for checking into that for me. I'll have to remember to always click on the top menu bar area to detach from the color palette before copying and pasting

@monsterfox said in New Artboard moves touched locked Object: @VectorStyler Actually, I feel that the drawing boards shouldn't be overlapped. It doesn't seem to make much sense. In most cases yes. But it can also be used to cut for export or print different parts of an artwork, with some overlap or rotation.

@VectorStyler That's still good news.

@VectorStyler I know, but it would be helpful for new and occasional users, that the icon changed accordingly, temporarily, whilst pressing "Option".

@William-Kansepa I will need a recording (Shape Effects panel included), and then send me the vstyler file also.

@Subpath It is a customizable shortcut. But I will find a solution.

@VectorStyler said in Scatter Brush with random colors while painting ?: @Subpath said in Scatter Brush with random colors while painting ?: Like this pic of mine made with another vector graphics tool What tool was that? I don't remember the name, but it was an Adobe Flash Air tool. Thanks to the Flash script/programming language, it has some for very unusual but nice painting Tools. . . A somewhat similar Program is "Alchemy" (PC/Mac) which still work with Win 10. This is offers also unusual vector graphics painting tools. My favorite tool are Pull Shapes. With Pull Shapes you could put vector graphics shapes from a PDF file randomly on the canvas. You are able to use your own shapes, just save them in a PDF file and place this file in Alchemys Pull Shapes folder. Here a Link to the latest Beta https://al.chemy.org/download/ . . Here a Video Picture made with Alchemys Pull Shapes [image: 1747372382438-pull-shapes.png]

@VectorStyler Thank you

@monsterfox I added this to the backlog.

@Subpath said in Change the shape of the eraser tool: Brush Size for the "Path Eraser Tool" is not shown Yes, I was thinking of a different tool. I will add this.

@VectorStyler Great! 

@Raaskot said in Controlling stroke/brush endings?: I need a brushed stroke with full - not zero - width at the start and in the end As mentioned by @Subpath the brush just stretches a vector content. The only way to have what you need is to create a new custom brush where the endings contain a straight line that is the height of the brush content. Or use a solid stroke instead.
