@VectorStyler said in Erratic halftone editor in 1.3.002: Yes, and this this consistent with double clicking on other tool icons. I was thinking the same behaviour as the shape effect tools. Double clicking on tool icon while a shape with effect is selected opens (or puts forward) the shape effect panel, allowing user to change the parameters. With halftone, the appearance panel could be put forward, allowing user to change halftone parameters of already created effect. The issue is with already created halftone, the user may think the dialog opened by double clicking may be used to change settings (and it does in preview), but then clicking ok undoes the changes, which is confusing.

@VectorStyler Hi! No, they are installed in windows. I dont installed nothing with VS manager yet.

@EricP I will try to replicate this

@marce I will try to replicate this.

Right-clicking the icons also works, at least on the Mac. That is my own preferred method as it is quicker than a long press and provides a bigger target than the tiny arrows in the corners.

Great work, thanks very much.

@marce Can be replicated on Windows, seems to be a regression in the current build (worked in 1.3.001)

@Boldline The problem here is that repeater presets also contain the repeated objects. This is needed to add repeaters to as a fill to existing objects, but it can cause problems for repeaters that are not filling shapes. The repeated shape can be changed by selecting a new object and the repeater and using the Replace Repeated Objects from the panel menu

@VectorStyler Thanks for the quick reply. If you have some older DXF files that do not import, please send… Thanks, but I'm not really needing that. I'm just making some examples to demonstrate the decades-old "polyline" problem of the CAD>DXF>Bezier workflow (which I don't recommend, if at all avoidable). So I just wanted to make sure not being able to open the R12 files I'm using to demonstrate, is not unique to my installation. I can open R14 versions of the same files, (which do not demonstrate the polylines issue, but break curves at every path segment). JET

@EricP ... "TiXL seems like an incredible tool.... " Indeed, I will definitely keep an eye on it.
