  @fde101 ...The output from Art Text is raster... Thats what i already guessed. Because that's often the case. The Windows version is no longer available since version 2. The demand from Windows users is said to have been too low.

  @Boldline Optical alignment is in the backlog, but this one is more specialized.

  @Boldline Yes, it should be possible now. In Preferences -> Editing Options -> Tangent Mode select All. Then all handles are visible when editing, and Shift+ click should select multiple ones.

  @b77 said in Video Tutorial For Different Menu Functions: Then start a new polygon, press the Shift key, drag and rotate until one side is positioned horizontally. Thanks for sharing this - this solution works for me.

  @Boldline I could not replicate this one. I think it could be caused by some specific steps (changes) made after copying. If there is an example file, with stored history, that might help replicate this one, please email it to me.

  @Boldline The lasso indicator (line) style will be changed. The problem with the blue circle is that there are two functions activated by the Option (Alt) key in this case (again collision of too many features on modifier keys). One is the lasso tool, the other is a intersection join and segment erase tool. This other tool works when clicking at an intersection location of two open paths, where the smaller endings are removed and the open paths are joined at the intersection. I will have to find a better way to accommodate both tools, I'm open to suggestions.

  @Boldline Somehting similar can be done by: select the lines and combine into a single shape (first icon in the context panel shape tools). select the combined lines shape and then the other shape. click Exclude in the context panel. select Break Apart in the Object menu (the resulting shape is a combination of the parts). now we get the parts of the shape cut by the lines.

  Text objects are special because fonts are involved — is this vertical s̶c̶a̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ distorting of fonts really useful and often needed? I would just drag the top or bottom handle if I wanted that (but 99% of the time I don't). I would go for consistent shortcuts (Option + Arrows, or something else) for both tracking and leading and make them work also when you're not in text editing mode. That would be a fast workflow in my opinion.

  I agree that it will be hard to find a happy medium with such a variety of uses. Personally, I like the Move window style called by the Enter key When the object/group is selected, you press the key that activates the window, you can move around with the Tab key. That's how I see it First press Enter a Transform window with typical properties appears there should not be many of parameters so that moving between them without using the mouse would be fast and efficient. 9-Point Reference Object Origin - also possible to highlight with the Tab. Points can be selected with the 1-9 buttons Second press Enter The Move window appears Press Enter for the third time The Move window disappears I think it would be a relatively intuitive and practical system that quickly becomes a habit.

  @vectoradmin Thank you for always answering my requests. It's always fun to see how it gets easier and easier to use. There are 24 commands in "combine" alone, so I have them all hidden for now. I've hidden all of them and right-click on them to call them up. However, it would be nice to have an icon.

  @b77 @vectoradmin Not sure what happened and why your first screenshot was different. The following resources I uploaded in my first post may not be for Mac. In particular, the ".ico" extension is for Win. /Applications/VectorStyler.app/Contents/vector/data/resources/appicon.png /Applications/VectorStyler.app/Contents/vector/data/resources/appicon.ico I found ".ics" in another directory. This seems to be the resource for Mac. /Applications/VectorStyler.app/Contents/Resources/AppIcon.icns There are 10 images in "AppIcon.icns". I exported the 144DPI, 1024x1024 image from this one. (fig) Anyway, can you confirm you downloaded and tested with the .icns file I sent via forum chat? I DL'd it from Dropbox. This is a VS resource. This is the same as your image. The difference is that yours is a screenshot image (1012x1047). Mine is a resource image. Improvement Case Below 72DPI 128x128, false colors occur in relation to the background. Two suggestions for improvement are as follows Make the blur of the corner R frame a solid color stroke. Eliminate the dot pattern.
