  @b77 said in Outline stroke: @William-Kansepa For what you asked in the original question, use 'Expand Stroke' from the Styles menu. Thank you so much @b77. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to Numeric Path for coming out with an unorthodox program. It definitely keeps us on our toes. After tons of years on an Adobe diet, I am having to unlearn a LOT of things.

  @KF But, if you need vectors after export, use PDF or SVG formats. With some exceptions (image effects), these will have vectors.

  @KF No need to avoid it just let me know if something slows down, and will treat it as a bug.

  @vectoradmin said in Offset command adding too many nodes/anchor points: @William-Kansepa Were these offsets created in a single step (by setting the Steps field to more than 1) or in multiple steps? Sometimes it is better to do in a single step, because then all offsets are created from the outer shape. When the offsets are not uniform (as in the above case), then it is still better to create each from the outer shape, by increasing the Distance value. When an offset is created from an offset, this may result in more nodes than needed. I add this to the backlog as a task to improve repeated offset precision and avoid adding too many nodes (or maybe an option to keep the node count). The nature of the design requires that this be done using single steps to maintain precision.

  @Boldline That explains why I could not replicate it. I was using the panel (not the popup). Now the root cause is clear, and it will be fixed.

  @Boldline They should auto update. I tried to replicate this, and here the name in layers panel changes with the text (even added some shape effects, to make it the same.)

  @Boldline Hi I would use "Blend" for this and then refine it with the "Corner Editor" Tool This way you would also have better control

  @Boldline Replicated! Will be fixed. It seems that after adding to some existing object and then starting a new one does not refresh after the paint. Command+R refresh will fix this.

  @vectoradmin sounds good on both - do what is most affordable so VS can keep growing and getting better known

  @Boldline I will try to fix this. It is not a bug, but the consequence of how grids / guidelines are working. The default document grid is inherited by future documents, but when the opacity is changed, the change affects the current canvas only, which is not inherited.

  @vectoradmin Thank you so much. That was a prompt response to the challenge. Yes, linking vs embedding is now working as expected. The size for the document with linked images is now significantly smaller.

  Thank you. It's a subtle way of timing. I hope it works for square selection.

  Oh wow. That is helpful. Before I asked here at the forum I checked all the tools / filters / brushes but didn't come up on double clicking the icon. I don't know how Adobe is doing right now, but Macromedia Freehand and Fireworks had a little indicator within the tool icon where you could double click it when there was a "options"-menu available to be opened. maybe a suggestion for the toolbox-face-lift? Once again: thank you a lot for that support. It was such a time saver!!!
