      There seems to be a slight issue with the magic wand selection

      I will try to replicate this.

        oh wow, thank you so much. I am trying to replicate and am learning so much on the way :

        • I didn't know we could expand the magic wand panel for additional parameters,
        • the arrow trick (was hoping I could stop at this stage but apparently we can't control arrow size independently of stroke size)
        • applying gradient with transparent stops and then expanding outline (very smart)
        • using style to replace shape

        thank you, I keep on learning

        On your magic wand comment, it looks like your selection is constrained to inside view only. That may be the reason you cannot select all similar shapes with one click when zoomed in (if that's the issue you were having)0_1749107441200_SCR-20250605-inbt.png

          @EricP The second method involves similar pre and post operations as the first method, but with different mid-process steps. Due to the insufficient accuracy of Image Trace, it may cause deviations in the positions of circles and nodes. This method is not highly recommended, but simply presented as an alternative approach.

            @EricP The third method is the fastest, and the accuracy is acceptable (curve lengths can be set to 0.00000000001).

              @Li-Xiao very very creative !! thank you

              I learned many tricks with this one, especially on separating the shapes after tracing so their center would be redefined, using Union, then break apart (ctrl K). Very very useful

                @Li-Xiao yes, the last method is clearly the best for the original use case. Thank you so much for the effort and creativity putting all these methods in practice. I learned a lot

                  Thank you for the demonstrations too. 👍
                  I learned many things too I wouldn't have thought of.
                  It's always interesting to see how others solve a problem.

                    @EricP @Subpath My pleasure. The different feature combinations in VS are pleasantly surprising.

                      Yes, it was the inside view settings.

                        @Li-Xiao 这个操作真的很新奇,好像管理员都没有想到。这个功能我是基本用不上了。工作中没有太适合的场景。现在依然觉得论坛里你玩VS最溜。
