@Boldline The Pantone colors must be added to the document color palette (the default palette shown in the color palette panels) as Spot colors. Spot colors are shown with a clipped corner and small dot, but they must be in the main (document) color palette. If the colors are shown in a separate color palette (like imported ASE palettes), then it is recommended to check the Register Color and then Register As Spot Color items in the palette panel menu. With these the colors are added as spot automatically when they are selected. Otherwise it has to be added manually and then selected as Spot by double clicking and setting the Mode option in the color view.

@encart @Gremriel I got the files. In the first case the ellipses rotated with 15 degree worked fine with the shape builder but the other example in the file was already broken. In the second case, I did manage to replicate the issue. I will work on this one to try to find a fix. One observation about the shape builder: it tries to remember the original shapes before the first changes. This is unless the shapes are also modified by some other tool after the shape builder. This remembering has the result that you can get to and restore regions that were merged before. This is intentional, and this is not the cause of the above (diagonal lines) bugs. I will get back with more info later, meanwhile if there are other cases where things are broken, please let me know.

@Boldline Could be that because there are no brush presets (the list is empty), the append feature is not working. This looks like a bug. Create a new Artistic Brush from any object, using the Styles -> Create Styles -> Create Artistic Brush Preset command. This should end up in the Presets group, and then the list in the Brush Presets will not be empty. Then try the Append command again.

@encart Yes, the SVG should be imported and then added as a Symbol preset. Symbols can be drag&dropped from the Presets panel. Shapes require an existing object to change the shape.

@Gremriel I just checked this on Windows, and it looks like there is a bug. It can be replicated easily. Will try to have a fix in the next build.

@ash-f This issue is still an open bug. Will try to fix as soon as possible.

Anyone else remember the Interface Hall of Shame? Evidence that things could be worse: http://hallofshame.gp.co.at/controls.htm#CONTROLS46

@Kyriakos @Kyriakos said in Pen tool auto-set to fill with no stroke: respect the selected colour and fill rather than drawing every new pen shape with stroke and no fill I agree with you on this - I would prefer each document open with black stroke no fill for the pen tool default, but as soon as you change the stroke and fill settings, they get used on every future pen tool use or rectangle or circle shape, etc... going forward until it is changed again by the user

Hi, That works, thanks.

@vectoradmin said in Possible Bug in Context Panel for Fill and Stroke, plus related questions?: @Vector-Rock The no fill selection from the popover fill palette list is fixed in 1.0.025 Thanks, working properly now!

@Gremriel Got it. Thanks! The bug also occurs on Mac.

@Gremriel Looks like an error. Will be fixed in the next build. Posting is welcome this is how the app gets improved.

@Gremriel Yep, got it replicated. Problem occurs after multiple documents are opened, and switched between.

Thank you.

@vectoradmin Nice!

@Gremriel The selected text outline issue is fixed in build 1.0.025. Let me know if there are other issues.

@Arde Yes, that is the document info, and it does not show info on objects. I think a separate object info panel (with position, size, colors, and maybe shape length / area) could be added at some point. I will add this to the new features backlog, it might not make it into version 1.

@861475_VctSt Let me know what are the issues

@vectoradmin I confirmed the correction.

It's like the mask workflow in FreeHand, instead of using clipping masks a shape can be masked by copying it and using "Paste Inside" in a parent object. Then once you double click the parent object and enter isolation mode you are able to edit the contents you just pasted in. You can also repeat the process on the children objects and paste things inside of those to create masks inside of masks. It confused me too at first because i wasn't expecting it and the relevant UI was pointing me towards something like Illustrator but It's much faster and intuitive method than clipping masks, trust me on this.
