Detail Optimizations for Version 1.3
-
@VectorStyler Yes, I edited other graphics after performing the move operation. When I executed the move operation again about one minute later, these parameters disappeared.
-
@VectorStyler It has come to my attention that certain transformation functions like rotation and scaling in the transformation panel cannot be operated in the same way as the separate transform function in the move tool. Could this feature be added?
-
@monsterfox I will try to add this.
-
@VectorStyler The blue path is a 2mm stroke path, while the black path uses the Expand Outline effect in the Appearance panel. I want to use the Style Picker to let the blue path inherit the expanded outline style from the black path, but the result is different. Could you add support for this operation?
-
@monsterfox I added this to the backlog

Can you explain what is the difference here, what is needed to be added?

@VectorStyler The blue path is the base path, the red path uses the Outline Width Tool, and the black path is a duplicate of the red path—with the only difference being the Expand Outline function applied in the panel.
I’ve considered scenarios where the Expand Outline function is used, which is most likely after applying the Outline Width Tool. For example: select the blue path, then use the Style Picker to click the red path, and the blue path will become a red path with Outline Width properties. However, I want the blue path to have the effect of the black outline path, which is currently not supported—as indicated by the two arrow-pointed properties.
Right now, there’s no quick way to call up parameter properties set in the Appearance panel; you have to adjust them one by one, which is quite cumbersome.
In reality, the black path now has three layers of styles:
1. The original Outline Width Tool properties;
2. The Expand Outline properties;
3. The outline color properties.My suggestion is: in this state, if using the Style Picker tool, only call up the Expand Outline and outline color properties—this would be more compatible with more complex scenarios.

Currently, the Rotation panel has a Transform Separately option, but it doesn’t support incremental operations like the one in the Move panel. For example, when selecting multiple objects, checking Transform Separately in the Rotation panel and setting a rotation of 5 degrees should make each object rotate 5 degrees incrementally one after another. This would greatly expand the panel’s usability. The same logic should apply to Scale and Shear as well.

Is this possible to do in the Transform dialog?
-
@VectorStyler It’s different. The Transform dialog is for making multiple copies of a single object and applying transformations to them. In my case, I already have multiple selected objects of different sizes—these are material patterns for different shoe sizes.
The logic should still follow the Move dialog: when Transform Each is checked, entering parameters should apply incremental transformations (rotation, skew, scale, etc.) to multiple objects in order from largest to smallest. This would greatly improve efficiency; otherwise, we’d have to adjust each object one by one.
