Blend: smooth is not smooth

@VectorStyler said in Blend: smooth is not smooth:
@Pat Each canvas has its own (different) layer hierarchy.
The issue I have then is that I can only see the layers and objects of one canvas/artboard.
Yes, this is normal, Layers panel shows one canvas content at a time.
it seems that the layers are empty
Is the active canvas also empty when the layers panel is empty?
No, the artboards are all ok. I may miss something.
I send you the file
-
@Pat Got the file, and when I change the selection in the Canvas panel, the Layers panel content is updated to the current canvas.
But there is one thing that might happen here: how was the Layers panel opened?
If it is opened for a canvas (from the Canvas panel), that it is "glued" to that canvas, regardless of the current canvas.
Close all layer panels, and open one with the Panels -> Layers command, then select different canvases and check if the layers panel content updates. -

It's a bit counterintuitive IMHO. I expected the Layers panel to reflect the layers and objects of an artboard as soon as it was selected and not to be locked on the first artboard selected/opened. -

Yes, this is a VS specific thing that you can have multiple Layers panels opened on different canvases (btw, canvases are not artboards).
The trick here is to use the Layers panels to move objects or layers from one canvas to another with drag&drop.
For example: have a Layers panel opened for an other (not active) canvas, containing some objects and then drag&drop objects from that Layers panel directly onto the current canvas. -

@Pat Yes, this might be a bug, if the fill is not a solid color.
The problem is that having too many blend steps may impact performance, especially if the fill is a gradient.
@VectorStyler I don't see any difference/improvement with v.1.1.094.

Are you doing blends of gradient fills? I will try to replicate this issue.

@VectorStyler you can use the file I sent you, canvas 1/artboard n°7

Do I have co copy-paste all objects from an artboard to the one within the new canvas and delete the 1st ?In the Canvas panel, select the artboard and alt+drag into another canvas.
It doesn't work well : drag & drop an artboard from a canvas to another left objects in the 1st canvas.

@VectorStyler same issues in .095. VS crashed twice & reports sent.
-
@Pat I will try to fix these crashes.
