      Just out of curiosity, can the spacebar function as a modifier key?

      In Windows these keys that input text can cause issues when held down. In these cases, maybe the best is to press/release to flip an option, but that will conflict with shortcuts.

        but occasional lag issues still occur.

        The new build contains some stoke rendering speed improvements, let me know if this is better on your machine also.

          @VectorStyler I tested the file I provided, but it still lags. It seems that the improvement is not significant.

            @VectorStyler Following LIXIAO's suggestion today, I turned off the "Show Nodes on Hover" option under Preferences > Selection, then tested moving objects. There was still some lag, but it was noticeably faster than before.

              @VectorStyler I encountered a halftone graphic similar to the one in Floor 13 of this thread again today. I know that the repeater function has been enhanced in previous versions, but I'm not sure if such graphics can be created now. If it is supported, could you provide a video demonstration?

                  @VectorStyler The original image is a print on a piece of material, which is quite blurry, but the general effect is like this. The difference is that the smallest shapes are rectangles with no tilt at all, while the largest ones are tilted.

                  It’s easy to create a single strip using the blend effect, but repeating this process and ensuring global coordination is rather cumbersome. If the repeater could support tilt adjustments for both the smallest and largest shapes, this kind of graphic could be created. If possible, please add the rotation adjustment function as well.1_1768732123855_mmexport1768731576081.jpg 0_1768732123842_mmexport1768731564823.jpg

                    This can be done with a number variable for the tilt amount and then controlling the variable using the backdrop intensity as a repeater adjustment

                      then repeater > addional options > Adjustment Geometrys > Edit Adjustment
                      may be a way

                        @Subpath The effect is very similar to the one in your image above, but yours looks more like rotation rather than tilt.

                            ok,
                            had a closer look at your pic
                            seems that Tilt is the same like "Skew" in Repeater

                                @Subpath Thanks! The effect of your image is quite similar. I'll test out the details tomorrow. There are still plenty of advanced features of the repeater that I haven't mastered yet, so I need to spend some time exploring them.

                                  Glad it was helpful.

                                  My understanding of the repeater's capabilities is also still quite limited.
                                  I just experiment with it now and then and gradually expand my knowledge.

                                    I've noticed that shape transform parameters (the ones that appear in Properties panel) don't seem to accept number variables as input.

                                    Also, adding a shape effect Transform allows to use number variables as input, but they seem to have no effect.

                                    I don't know if this limitation is intended or not but it would be nice to be able to use number parameters on Transform parameters

                                      @VectorStyler I enabled the skew option in the Repeater, but the skew angles of the repeated shapes are very inconsistent and messy—this should be a bug, right?

                                          The Skew adjustment was set to Randomized mode in the Geometry Adjusments. You should select Backdrop Content.

                                            @VectorStyler 文件破坏.zip This is a corrupted file and it’s not important. It was likely caused by severe lag. I’m attaching this file just to see if you can repair it, and also hoping you can optimize the lag-related issues in the future.
