@VectorStyler said in Snapping forces orthogonal: if the "Allow Snapping" (in Snapping panel) is disabled, then is there an issue? no issues when "Allow snapping" is disabled. I'm not having any problems at the moment with the snapping. I'll let you know. Thanks

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.

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.

Smart! Of course! Thanks!

@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' ?

@monsterfox I added this to the backlog

@monsterfox I will try to replicate this.
