Line Width tool options?
-
Is it possible to add a modifier key to switch to asymmetric
-
@asan I opened a bug on this and will try to find a way to do it.

Thank you, this will be a big help for inking

This is a really neat idea that I hadn't been on my radar at all, but certainly intrigues me in how it could be used in my inking process as well. I played around with it this morning in the new build. I'll have to try it out in my own process. I would love to see how you utilize this in your own inking process if you're willing to share details and/or examples of your process and results. Thanks!

I gave the new line width tool a try, I think we have bugs! Or it could just be on my system (mac mini OS 15.5).
- Boldline* all of my work was done on Ill CS5, nothing to show on VS, yet. I am running CS5 on a 2019 macbook pro so I think I will have to move on soon(

What are the bugs?

If I click on a path with the width tool I can push/pull on a side dot to adjust both sides of the stroke, and I can click drag the center dot to move it on the path. This is good.
I can click the path to set a point then click Control (not control click) to adjust a side dot only, good so far. When I let up on the mouse the other side dot goes away, gone! Also if I click on the center dot to move it on the path it will not move. It creates another width point as I drag.
This is what I thought we might get:

Something like this.
I really would like to get away from Adobe!

@asan I will try to replicate and fix this for the next build.

In VS, when a stroke width profile is asymmetric, each side will have its own width locations. This is different from Illustrator where the location is always the same, only the widths are different.
I will try to add it as an option to share the locations, but it might be bit later.

@VectorStyler When clicking on a control point with the Width Tool, the panel does not display the width parameter of the current control point in real time. The change can only be seen when a stretching operation is performed. Could this display function be added?

I added this to the backlog
