Hi @LoginError and welcome to the VS forum You can find tutorials from me in the tutorial section of the forum. They deal with symmetrical graphics in different ways and also show some tips and tricks. In my experiments with symmetrical graphics I mostly use clones, maybe because I'm more used to them :). Anyway, maybe you'll find something helpful. Have fun with VectorStyler

@Yaoif Yes, but first you have to set the width profile to asymmetric. This can be done by unchecking the Symmetric box in the width profile editor (accessed from the stroke panel), or the third button in the Stroke Width panel icon row.

@Boldline You can also drag the shape over the clipping group in the Layers panel and it will place inside.

@Boldline Changing the Warp options as suggested by @b77 should fix this. I will check if the defaults can be improved.

@Raaskot , your welcome always nice when it was helpful I also learned something new too

Thanks, It works

@b77 ok thanks that was it! Once I unchecked that, it all moved easily. I wish there was a way to have the best of both options

@Yaoif It should be, depending on the task of course. VectorStyler aims to have all the features of a high-end vector illustration application. It supports variable and color fonts and has advanced typography features. What are the specific features you are looking for?

@gotanidea I will try to fix this issue.

@VectorStyler Works fine now, thanks.

@Raaskot said in Pdf export: All text turns into gibberish: Typesetting is incredible cumbersome, unpredictable and very unstable I have to replicate this. The Leading attribute set in the Character panel is applied only to the highlighted characters. There is also a leading property in the Paragraph panel for whole paragraphs.

Uploaded sample file. Im scaling the box with Alt-Shift-drag The textboxes just acts completely unexpected in this video: Sample video 0_1707132471295_tekstvalg-03.vstyler.zip

@Raaskot I know you can create something like this and more with the Repeater. As you can see in this thread, for example. https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/2295/repeater-halftone-problem-on-rasters/53 . . But anyway, here is a little Online Tool that also has something to offer. The result can be saved/downloaded as SVG. https://labs.adobe.com/experiments/hello-halftones/ Here yet a old Thread of mine about that Tool. https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/1089/tip-halftone-generator-bitmap-to-vector-graphics-svg/4

@Raven said in Pen tool behaviour when extending an open path: Is there a preference or modifier key that governs the behaviour? In the context panel, uncheck "Adjustments" Cannot seem to get the node being moved with the spacebar method to snap to the segments or nodes of the same path (if snapping is enabled). Yes, there seems to be an issue here, I opened a bug on this one.

@VectorStyler: I am using VS 1.1. I reckon it is in 1.2 Beta? Don't answer that: I found it! Thanks to @Subpath and @Boldline's screenshots!

@VectorStyler Thank you for the explanation. I suspected the precision might be related to internal calculations. I appreciate your time in confirming that is the case.

@Boldline said in Does VS have a scaling brush?: very excited to see what improvements with repeater that VS will offer! me too

And… there's no need for icons in the 'Save Style' dialog — a checkbox with a text label that says 'Global' (or anything descriptive) would work great, IMO.

@Pat I managed to replicate the preview issue in Windows 11. It seems that the Windows 10 preview solution does not work on Windows 11 file explorer. Not sure yet what causes this issue.
