@William-Kansepa said in update 1.3.015: Am getting same result whether the option is checked or unchecked. I will test this more. The option name should be "Allow Ungrouping of Clipping Groups"

got a copy of Rebelle made a video here how panel hiding in Rebelle is working

@Boldline Thanks for this post. I just discovered the option key to change modes and that is very useful

@VectorStyler yes, I agree the snap option for art board works just fine for VS. I love the snap option in VS for moving a line to be similar to another close by! I don't think I realized it could do such magic! That said, I still think the line angle lock is a cool feature I'd love to see in VS at some point when possible - just my vote and opinion

@VectorStyler thank you - yes, if I turn on snapping, it will close the path as expected. I did notice however, it does not work as well on non-circle results like I was demonstrating. If the shape is not a circle, even with the snapping on, it will not join together properly. here is a video showing this In the video, I also show how it would be helpful if the snapping would show the midpoint of the path nearby in this case right below it so I could make my node centered if I wanted to. Does this go against the principle of the tool? Because I understand it's meant to be an on the fly adjustment as you work not necessarily technical. Even as a general option for all plotting tools - it would be handy to have snapping indicate when you are at the center point of a nearby path. it works in VS when there is already a node there to represent that spot like in this video The end of the video cuts to the open source "Graphite" where it allows for that kind of thing

@VectorStyler Hm, figured it out. It must be set here ... [image: 1777450854829-93c46c12-e929-451a-b581-c04526bd7dac-image.png]

@Ingolf No, I do get it. That feeling is hard to replace. I learned to type on a typewriter so that's probably why I'm adjusted to working with a lot of key travel. I've seen the "drummy" keyboards and they do sound so nice on a good surface and look fun to use. I need my wrists to be stay relatively mobile especially as a tablet user. The Keychrons are not impervious to issues. I had a bit of key chatter on occasion with the Q6 Max when I first started with it probably because of the rubber gaskets, but I think the board broke in enough that it settled because I don't really have a problem now with it. (It did require a firmware update, though)

@flachware This is a bug, I will try to fix it as soon as possible. Can you send me an Illustrator file to csraba at vectorstyler.com with a gradient where this occurs?

@VectorStyler Thanks, appreciate it.

@VectorStyler said in Change Screen Mode does not work: Is this the "Single Document View" mode? this should be inactive if no document is open. This is happening when I have open documents.

@William-Kansepa The current version bugs are posted in the Bugs section. The 1.2 beta bugs had a separate section because there was a 1.2 beta while 1.1 was still the current version. There was no 1.3 beta, but I should have cleared the Bugs section from older bugs (will take some time).

@monsterfox Fixed

@Harry I will try to replicate and fix this

@Boldline said in Arrange order icons - more intuitive and clean option?: the "arrange order" icons in Affinity seem more intutive to me than what we have in VS and it looks cleaner: I like the VS solution better and faster to use. In my opinion, even icons are clearer in VS.

@Boldline said in Editing Tracking value adds extra characters.: @VectorStyler said in Editing Tracking value adds extra characters.: @debraspicher This should be fixed in the 1.3.012 build @vectorstyler did you leave the 1.3.012 info update off the forum intentionally? No pressure or issue, was just curious Forgot to add that

@debraspicher Send me a file with the shapes where the default settings has issue in the Shape Builder

@VectorStyler Thank you so much! Wasn't expecting such a speedy response, another +1 Much appreciated

Does this need updating for 1.3? I still find it very helpful, btw.

@William-Kansepa said in Replacing linked image caused file size to balloon: If you check in Links panel, the image is still linked not embedded. Yes, but a copy of the image is also in the file. I will check why this happens.
