Can't draw Concentric Circles (Windows)

Gremriel

When I try the Concentric Circles tool, nothing shows up, even though the objects are created in the layer stack. I'm pretty sure it worked in rc24, though.

@Gremriel It works for me

@Gremriel I tried this and it work here too. How about the other grid shapes? Are there problems there too.
It might be that there are some issues with the defaults. Could you check the Appearance panel content with the concentric shape selected (just after drawing)? Does it have a stroke?

Hi,

Yes, all the other grid shapes show up. After I draw the Concentric Shape, I can modify all it's attributes, but nothing shows up on the canvas. I tried resetting the preferences, but that doesn't help.

@Gremriel Would it be possible to save a file with the no-show concentric shape and send it to me. Maybe it helps replicating the problem.

Couple of other things to try: convert to curves, and then break apart.

VectorStyler

@Gremriel Got it! It looks like the concentric shape is using some earlier defined shape style that is missing. Default concentric shapes should not use shape styles. I will fix this in the next build.

Meanwhile, one workaround is to draw circle, set the object name and set the role to Shape. Then select this in the shape panel as the shape used by the concentric shape (second shape field will have to fix this too).

Hi,

Thanks, I'll use that workaround for now. Was it something I previously did that caused it to use a missing object style?

Hard to tell, maybe there was a shape style used in some previous concentric drawing. But if the style is missing, this should revert to circles.

Hi,

For information, I deleted my preference files and have them created from scratch at launch. I can now draw concentric circles again.

@Gremriel The concentric circle drawing issue has been fixed in build 1.0.027.
