  @VectorStyler @Subpath As @Subpath showed, contour can work. Also using multiple strokes with different alignment values (set alignment to absolute value). This should work. Thanks Concentric shape tool is another option for circles.

  @VectorStyler Thanks - the "X" icon is what I was looking for. The simplest things are most often the hardest to find

  @Raaskot The text box seems to have 2 transformations. The Shape Effects panel contains these transformations and can be individually removed there also.

  @Boldline said in Live text that is modified and copied and then pasted over text on path does not retain edits: would I need to alter it in the appearance panel instead? I think this this case you need to use a character scaling option from the Character Panel (expanded mode of the panel). Also, there is a Settings that changes the character scaling when scaled with the Transform tool.

  @creative When you create a new document with the "New Document Setup", all the settings changed there will be defaults. There is a "More Options" button on the right side, if you scroll down.

  @VectorStyler said in Creating and using guideline groups?: I think what is needed here is document templates. Just set up a new document with guidelines and everything else needed, and then save it and use it as a template with the New Document Setup. Thank you very much, that's probably the best way. With so many great features and functions in VectorStyler, it's easy to lose track.

  Mac, I looked at the reveal workspace but include those files there the dozens of new document presets I created? The Presets Manager seems to be the better way.

  @Tonyrambler It should work now. I had the same issue with my previous MacBook and choosing "Metal" was the solution.

  @Jackamus said in Controlled thick and thin lines: How do I draw a new ellipse without any previous attributes? In VS the previous attributes are used when drawing new objects. In this case you can clear the width profile on the new object by clicking the solid stroke icon in the stroke panel (second from last).

  @Harry said in VS startup time: Where are the temporary files located in Windows? It is up to the operating system to serve the temporary file locations and this may vary between versions. VS will still clean the temporary files, but it does so after crashes, and not at startups. With normal exit, VS will not leave temporary files.

  @creative The current "New Document" view cannot define new groups of presets. It will list all document optins presets in a single flat list. I will improve this ASAP.

  @Boldline Use the "Isolate Inside" (double click) to edit the content of a group. I changed the order of the selection (members first) for the next build (it is just a resource flag), lets see how it will work.

  Thanks for the quick response. Ah, I did try that but silly me; I didn't see that what was generated was actually a group with all vectors inside. Sorry for that. Nice to see it's possible. Have a nice weekend!
