Shape Builder tool
-
Hello,
I am trying do the the famous 8 with the shape builder tool.
But I am failing as always some parts are missing.
The missing parts are not recognised by the shape builder tool.
For different shape it does really works very well.
But overall using undo with the shape builder tool, does result to fail quite often. After using undo, strange things do happen, and you better start new overall.The VS file, can be provide as usual. Or can I upload the file here in the forum?
Thanks.

@MajorTom I like the "8" so far! You can always try to share files directly on the forum if you are comfortable with doing that.
The forum is very particular about file size, so if it does not accept your file you can aways stop a link to it in dropbox or in google, etc.
If you click on the icon shown in my image below, you can choose the file you want to upload.I know I sent in some issues with Shape Builder today as well. It's going to be an awesome tool when the kinks get worked out.

@MajorTom If you cannot upload it, send me the file by email to csraba at vectorstyler.com
There is a still open bug: non intersecting but close shapes are not handled.
-
@Boldline, I don't have the upload button. Do I have to activate it?
Probably related to some general rights here in the forum.

@MajorTom Drag&drop the file into the reply box.

@vectoradmin
I am not allowed to drag&drop other files than images.

This issue has persisted with the forum SW. I will try to fix it at some point. Please send the example file to my email: csraba at vectorstyler.com
Thanks!

Hi, the circle is snapping to the rectangle, but with the shape builder tool, the upper and lower part is selected at once. On the right side the upper and lower part are separated.
Is that a known issue? thanks.

@MajorTom Yes, it is a problem with precisely touching shapes (no intersection is formed).
I will try to find a solution for this (most cases are handled).
-
@vectoradmin great thanks a lot.
And please have a look at the Undo function with the shape builder.
It really does some strange things.
In this case I just pressed once Control-z and the whole shape get out of control.

If you have an example file with this (and the undo/redo issue), please send it to me by email, it would help a lot. Thanks!
