    14.The first error only occurs in this file. For the second error: create a blend between two shapes to generate several copies, then align the blend to a path. When creating a second blend and aligning it to a path, an error will occur, and undoing one step will also trigger the error.

    @VectorStyler 15. In the shortcut settings dialog box and custom toolbar, any characters or text typed during a search will be automatically selected. To continue typing, you have to click the cursor position with the mouse, which is very annoying. Hope this issue can be fixed.

    @Subpath I don't know much about macros. Could you provide a video demo? Thank you.

    I'm a little surprised that you're creating designs that require repetitive
    steps and you don't know much about or use macros?

    A macro, or an "Action" in VS, are simply some recorded workflow
    steps recorded with a built-in or external Action/Macro recorder
    and played back later when needed. And recording an Action is death easy.

    Call the Action Recorder
    Press Record
    give the Action a name
    you could also add a shortcut
    go manually through all needed Steps
    Press End Record

    Note:
    Not all steps in VS can be recorded, but you can find out which by just
    experimenting. It may also be helpful to read the Manual about Actions.

    Here a Video with Boolean Union

    @VectorStyler This is another blend failure error—the two shapes in the file cannot be blended. The file in question is a preset template I created from scratch. After consulting with Li Xiao, I confirmed that he can execute the blend operation without issues in a file he newly created. I suspect this problem is caused by a conflict with my custom styles and would appreciate a resolution to fix it.0_1765896294861_33 (1).vstyler

    @Subpath Oh right, I do know how to set up an Action—it’s just a terminology habit. That’s why the term "macro" sounds unfamiliar to me, but they’re actually the same thing.

    I managed to replicate the first issue (from the video).

    I do not have the exact shape for the second error from the video.

    ....it’s just a terminology habit...

    Seems so, maybe there are some minor differences sometimes ?
    As i know extern (standalone Macro recorders) useful when a program
    have no Macro/Action recording, but i never heard of a extern Action
    Recorder.

    @Subpath What I know is that macros can record the coordinate positions of operations, but the current actions don’t support this—they can only record the sequence of some regular operations. However, I think macros are basically useless in VectorStyler , because in the process of drawing graphics, you almost never encounter situations where you need to operate with the same coordinates. So the current actions should be more than sufficient.

    Aside from that design may on a different position, there are definitely cases
    where precise mouse positioning is useful. For example, with menus, which
    are usually located in the same position.

    The actions in VS are sufficient in many cases, but unfortunately
    too limiting for me, as they don't support some commands.
    .
    .
    The macro recorder in CorelDraw was on a completely different level.
    Because the recorded steps were are converted into Visual Basic
    commands, allowing for to be edited after recording to insert loops or
    additional commands.

    In one of my jobs, I frequently used the standalone tool "AutoIt," which also
    allows for precise mouse positioning. The manufacturer's specific vector
    graphics/printing program didn't have any actions or macros. "AutoIt" is a
    well known Windows Tool for automating Tasks in App which didnt have
    a Action/Makro recorder.

    With this, I was able to automate many tasks, such as creating numerous
    DIN vector graphics symbols in various sizes. Doing this manually would
    have taken weeks. (DIN is a german Norm, in this case for Symbols)
    .
    .
    Unfortunately, VS doesn't follow Windows conventions sometimes in this
    regard, so it is not possible to use AutoIt in it. I think that when scripting is
    introduced (it's on the roadmap), the possibilities will expand in a way
    where I would be happier with.
