How to apply effects to other objects?

[B-Vs-V]

@Subpath Thanks. Yes of course, I first select the shape to modify and I then use the picker tool... but since nothing works, I did try everything

@VectorStyler I'll send you the file

@Pat I will try to replicate this on Windows.

i tryed it allready on Win 10
and everthing works as expected
Used Shape Effect Picker for Offset Effect
and Styler Picker for Gradient.

@VectorStyler I think there is still enough space to get sharp pointed edges but no way by modulating the miter limit... another way ? Thanks.

@Subpath maybe different due to the offset path setup ? I've tried many times but to no avail.

@VectorStyler also, when I want to change the stroke profil through the offset path, it didn't.

@VectorStyler When I tried to apply an offset path to several shapes, VS crashed. A crash report has been sent.

@VectorStyler reproducible when I click on "preview"

[B-Vs-V]

@VectorStyler Well, I don't see the way to save the offset path I did into a Shape effects... but never did & then I may be out of the road here

[B-Vs-V]

@VectorStyler No way... 3rd crash reports. Hope they help finding the bug.

Set the Miter Limit value to very small (5 or less).

@VectorStyler I've tried all the possible values

@Pat Got the crash reports, I will try to replicate this issue.

[B-Vs-V]

@VectorStyler you should have got the file too.

[VectorStyler]

@Pat Yes, I have the file. But could not replicate the crash yet.

Maybe a short recording would help: to know precisely what to select, and how much offset to try.

[B-Vs-V]

@VectorStyler just click preview after having selected a few shapes on the left

[VectorStyler]

@Pat Is the offset created with the "Object -> Shape -> Offset Path" or with the "Effects -> Outline -> Offset Path" ?

Only these have a "preview"

[B-Vs-V]

@VectorStyler Object -> Shape -> Offset Path

[VectorStyler]

@Pat What values are in the "Distance" and "Steps" field?

@VectorStyler close to this:

@Pat Still no luck. I will try it again tomorrow.
