      @vectoradmin,

      I have noticed that after using the Eraser Tool tool Option of trimming/deleting segments (Eraser Tool->Hold Down Shift and Drag) that when Zoomed In to very high Magnification Levels, the path segment(s) cut are not exactly coincident at the Intersection Point.

      Is there a Precision setting that can be set for this? If not, I think the precision should be improved.
      .

      Improved Eraser Tool Tip:
      The Cursor hover over Tool Tip for the Eraser Tool needs to be better worded to indicate its capabilities and options.

      Current Tool Tip:
      "Eraser Tool - Erase parts of object shapes using the eraser tool"

      Suggested new Tool Tip:
      “Click and Drag to Erase parts of objects shapes, Hold down Shift to Trim and Join endpoints at the intersection. Merge at Intersections if enabled in Context Panel”.
      .

      FYI, I think updating/improving the Tool Tips is a User Interface enhancement that would go a long way in decreasing the steep learning curve of VectorStyler (but that topic is for a new and separate forum post).

        @Vector-Rock The precision issue can be replicated. There is no settings for this, it will be fixed in the next build.

        Any suggestions on tool tips are welcome 🙂

          @Vector-Rock Trim precision of eraser (also trim and join) tool is better now in build 1.0.041.

          The other large zoom issue (reported in a different thread) remain open.
