  @b77 and @b77 This can be done, but it still needs a trackpad. For those who have a touch tablet, the rotate view works with the two finger rotating gesture. There is a Spacebar+Shift (pressed in this order) and the click and drag to rotate the view. And Spacebar+Command click and drag to zoom.

  Eraser cut with ability to not affect line attributes

  It sounds like we're on the same page. Basically, I'd love the ability to cut a tapered stroke and have the option to not have it change it's remaining shape automatically. So if I had a stroke width selected that featured a taper at both ends, after I lay the stroke down, I could use the erase to cut it in the middle and the two resulting smaller strokes would then only have one end each still tapered and the other would be thick with a flat edge resulting from the cut. If you're getting another cool idea that is not what I'm suggesting that is all good! But For sake of clarity I made a diagram to show what I meant: Diagram 1 - shows how the tapered stroke reacts after being cut - this is not bad - but would love the next option I show as well. Diagram 2 - the black circle shape is the initial stroke - the green stroke over top is the new crossover stroke. If I cut that stroke with the pencil eraser option, the red line shows what happens - it tapers at both ends adjusting to the new size. The purple line shows the alternative option for cutting that I would like to see. where both ends retain the original taper width effect where cut. At the risk of beating a dead horse - I wanted to be sure I was clear in the first diagram - in the pic below - you see the dual tapered stroke - then part 2, shows after it's cut in two pieces, the line adjusts automatically - the third part shows the option I'd like to see

  @vectoradmin cool! I like the potential. I was able to follow your directions and the video also helped. I hope a dedicated gets added into VS at some point. Clip Studio Pro (raster app) has a good way of doing it with a symmetrical tool. Maybe it gets bundled with an advanced perspective tool?

  @Boldline There is a task in the backlog for having multiple items in clipboard. The easiest way to do the same now, is to use the Presets panel and save / reuse the objects as Symbols.

  @zorglup Yes of course, thank you! But there are about 17800 UI text resources, as it is not just the menu, but texts in views and tool tips. I'm not sure if partial translation would be sufficient. Maybe these text resources could be made public in the near future. For now, the main issue is that these are frequently changed.

  @vectoradmin. I wish I knew how the FreeHand engineers/coders handled the open issue challenges you describe. They worked it out somehow. Thankfully we have a wizard like you to figure it out, ha, ha It would make for a nice addition to VectorStyler if you could make it happen. I'm confident you'll solve the puzzle and "wow" us!

  @Boldline Depends on the boolean operation. For example intersection works differently on open shapes (cuts the open shape). Union (and merge) could do the closing. I add this to the backlog.

  @vectoradmin said in Allow for “incrementally” increasing/decreasing unit values in Dialog Boxes/Panels: @Vector-Rock Some small improvements will come in the next build. In keep the up/down scroll button idea open for the build after that. Technically it is not an issue, just have to find the right arrangement. Sounds good. I look forward to what you come up with.

  @encart So if I understand correctly. When holding the middle button, it would zoom in/out when scrolling the wheel, and if not holding the button it would pan when scrolling? If so, this can be done. EDIT: got it now. would it be panning when holding the button and moving the mouse, and zooming with the wheel at the same time?

  @valak Welcome to VectorStyler. A set of parametric shapes are scheduled after version 1. Maybe this type of shape can be added as long as it fits well into the 2D model.

  If you happen to be on a Mac, for a single shape being used to fill the outer shape (so not the collection of words, but maybe for the clover above it), you can get something somewhat similar to this using Vectoraster from lostminds.com (though perhaps not quite exactly the same)

  @Boldline It is not possible to modify these custom shapes in that way, they are just (editable) paths, without any parameters. I'll think of a way to add parametric shapes in the future, without creating a complex toolbox. I add this to the future goals backlog.
