@VectorStyler After experimenting a bit with the region option for color sampling, I have to say that it doesn't really convince me at the moment. The results simply aren't that predictable. I find using "Along Path" in conjunction with a clipping path to be more predictable— even if you might have to cut out the desired part later on. Here a pic [image: 1789376180210-clipped-along-path-small-part.png] . . . As for color sampling, as it is by now i find "Paragraphic" more useful and easier to work with. It would be great to see improvements in this area in future versions of Vectorstyler, as this method offers interesting possibilities for coloring vector object designs and serves as a nice way to create compelling color palettes.

@Boldline I posted a request for something like this a while back. I looked for alternatives on macOS and found a few. While they aren't dedicated solutions, they offer quite extensive capabilities. The first one is Kando—a free app—and the second is Cirmenu, available on the App Store. There are quite a few apps of this type, but many rely on a subscription model, which isn't really my thing. Check them out; perhaps one of them will meet your expectations.

@Li-Xiao I will try to add this

@Boldline I will add this to the features backlog

@VectorStyler Thank you. Glad to hear it's not too complicated request!

@Boldline This is the calligraphic pen shape, VectorStyler can do this but cannot edit it on the canvas. If you go to the Stroke panel menu Edit Stroke, you can edit the calligraphic ellipse in the right side of the view, this translates to a scale and angle values

I've checked and can confirm it's working now, but I came across this thread because I was also having this problem. I'll let you know if the problem returns.

@Boldline In Settings->Other Options there is a "Paste with Artboard Position" that must be turned on. Should there be separate actions with this option enabled? The problem is that there are multiple actions (including Paste on All Artboards) that must be duplicated for this

@VectorStyler Ok thanks

@VectorStyler yes, no problem

@VectorStyler yes, whatever name fits best in your system. Essentially it would allow the file to be modified but not automatically saved. Perhaps the only save option in that situation is manually with a “save as” only? Whatever you think is best.

@VectorStyler it’s the same file I sent by email link in relation to the GPU view crashes yesterday. It’s a covered wagon from the American west circa 1800s. I can send again if needed. I also have the setting checked to separate with the tool already

@Boldline Press the shift key before the drawing starts

@Boldline I added this to the backlog

@Boldline For the Path Simplifier tool (not the command), there should be a Smoothness option in the context panel, and also you can double click the tool icon for additional options.

@VectorStyler These two updates are more than enough. Thank you so much! [image: 1784548719473-overlay.png]

@VectorStyler Cool !!! Works pretty good So again, is allready build in

@VectorStyler I now fully understand the current behavior. Even with the current mouse operations, I find the double-click actions to be highly useful for my workflow. As for the future backlog implementation, please don't rush to do everything at once. I think it would be perfectly fine to roll out vertical fit first, and then horizontal fit down the road when the time is right. Thank you so much for the helpful tips and for listening to my requests. Best regards,

@William-Kansepa You're welcome! Could it be a settings issue? A while back, importing AI generated images made VS crash on two Win PCs, but Mac was totally fine. It went back to normal after I reset it to default settings.
