      Are strokes with width adjustments (command-P) unable to be blended? I keep trying to get the preview to work but nothing happens

      UPDATE:
      ok when I expanded the strokes it suddenly showed me the blend as I had expected

        @Boldline Stroke width profiles should blend. Could this be a refresh issue?
        I tried it here and it seems to be working fine for different width profiles.

          @vectoradmin I saw the new build and upgraded to 26 and tried again, but it's not doing what I expected. Here is the video and the file:

                no, made a similar Stroke like yours.
                but will also try your file now, just a moment 🙂

                  @Subpath ok thanks - the reason I ask is because with those strokes, I had used the path width tool and that was where it seemed to give me issues trying to blend it properly afterward

                    first observation
                    the two strokes seems some how connected
                    if i hover over the left one both get selected

                    • no regluar blend visible

                    as i copy and paste both the connection seems gone
                    also no regular blend, and if i expand the blend
                    i get only lines

                    also no regular blend i copy the your strokes to new file

                    Here the video
                    attemp with your file
                    in the video the left one is already blended
                    and expanded

                      @Subpath said in Can strokes with width adjustments be blended?:

                      the two strokes seems some how connected
                      if i hover over the left one both get selected

                      This is not happening with the strokes here - they are not grouped or connected

                        yes there is no group an i also found no combine

                        here is the video where i restarted VS
                        and only load your file, seems sometimes
                        connected and other not
                        just your file

                          @Subpath thanks for checking that - it may just be an odd obscure situation that @vectoradmin can figure out why it is occurring that way..

                            @Subpath They are connected because they form a blend object already. But since they are so close to each other, the first object is more difficult to select separately (hover the cursor on its left and click).

                              @Boldline Indeed this seems to be a bug — if you get rid of the brush contour of both red lines the interpolation works.

                                  @Boldline I think the issue is that these two shapes contain brushes, and it seems that the brush content is not blended.
