How to apply effects to other objects?
-
@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"
-
@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
-
@VectorStyler No way... 3rd crash reports. Hope they help finding the bug.
-
@VectorStyler file sent

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.
-
@VectorStyler you should have got the file too.
-
@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.
-
@VectorStyler just click preview after having selected a few shapes on the left
-
@Pat Is the offset created with the "Object -> Shape -> Offset Path" or with the "Effects -> Outline -> Offset Path" ?
Only these have a "preview"
-
@VectorStyler Object -> Shape -> Offset Path
-
@Pat What values are in the "Distance" and "Steps" field?
-
@VectorStyler close to this:
-
@Pat Still no luck. I will try it again tomorrow.

The blunt corners are caused by open paths. At the highlighted locations, the nodes overlap, but the paths are actually open. Use the Node tool and the command in the context panel to connect the nodes.
