@monsterfox I will have to review the DXF format to see how the units are handled. I reopened this bug.

@shomnipotence That looks awesome

@VectorStyler said in Expand Group Opacity question shows no difference: @William-Kansepa For some settings changes you may need to reopen the document (and for others, restart the app) I think that could be the reason why it was refusing to work. Maybe an indication to mark that a certain setting requires a restart after editing it? Other software have an asterisk to indicate restart.

Perhaps a survey List may be helpful? For example, a list of the tools for which videos are most frequently requested. This wish list could be pinned in the Tutorials section, and anyone who wants to or feels capable of doing so could create a video. I should mention that even videos that don't perfectly cover all aspects of a tool can give other users ideas.

@VectorStyler Hm, figured it out. It must be set here ... [image: 1777450854829-93c46c12-e929-451a-b581-c04526bd7dac-image.png]

@William-Kansepa said in update 1.3.015: Am getting same result whether the option is checked or unchecked. I will test this more. The option name should be "Allow Ungrouping of Clipping Groups"

@shomnipotence said in What framework does Visual Studio's UI use? Does it include default maximize, minimize, and close buttons?: Is it possible to embed the native three main items into the top right corner? Or use a Win32 title bar (which would mean a separate menu bar). Is is possible to use the Windows title bar, but it looks awful for this UI. There are a number of other apps that added custom icons for this (Affinity, Spotify, etc).

got a copy of Rebelle made a video here how panel hiding in Rebelle is working

@Boldline Thanks for this post. I just discovered the option key to change modes and that is very useful

@VectorStyler yes, I agree the snap option for art board works just fine for VS. I love the snap option in VS for moving a line to be similar to another close by! I don't think I realized it could do such magic! That said, I still think the line angle lock is a cool feature I'd love to see in VS at some point when possible - just my vote and opinion

@VectorStyler thank you - yes, if I turn on snapping, it will close the path as expected. I did notice however, it does not work as well on non-circle results like I was demonstrating. If the shape is not a circle, even with the snapping on, it will not join together properly. here is a video showing this In the video, I also show how it would be helpful if the snapping would show the midpoint of the path nearby in this case right below it so I could make my node centered if I wanted to. Does this go against the principle of the tool? Because I understand it's meant to be an on the fly adjustment as you work not necessarily technical. Even as a general option for all plotting tools - it would be handy to have snapping indicate when you are at the center point of a nearby path. it works in VS when there is already a node there to represent that spot like in this video The end of the video cuts to the open source "Graphite" where it allows for that kind of thing

@Ingolf No, I do get it. That feeling is hard to replace. I learned to type on a typewriter so that's probably why I'm adjusted to working with a lot of key travel. I've seen the "drummy" keyboards and they do sound so nice on a good surface and look fun to use. I need my wrists to be stay relatively mobile especially as a tablet user. The Keychrons are not impervious to issues. I had a bit of key chatter on occasion with the Q6 Max when I first started with it probably because of the rubber gaskets, but I think the board broke in enough that it settled because I don't really have a problem now with it. (It did require a firmware update, though)

@VectorStyler Thanks, appreciate it.

@marce I've seen the grid flickering, but have not seen the interface flickering like that.

UPDATE: I did get much better results using the "grayscale" preset in the image mode. I am guessing this could still be an issue for other images that have more colors - it would be hard to know which ones VS chose without testing it over and over; adding a higher color count to the trace

@Ridgehammer I will tyr to replicate and fix this as soon as possible.

@William-Kansepa Will be fixed

@Li-Xiao I opened a bug on this and will try to fix it for the next build

@flachware This is a bug, I will try to fix it as soon as possible. Can you send me an Illustrator file to csraba at vectorstyler.com with a gradient where this occurs?

@VectorStyler The bug is fixed. thanks. The perspective block shadow works well on shapes, but it's still struggling with text. it needs some improve.
