Mirroring / Flip does not work as expected

Subpath

Hi

Don't know if this is really a bug.
But Mirror/Flip does not work as expected in VS.

If i mirror/flip an Artistic Stroke in VS
the shape is not mirrored.
Only the direction of the stroke.

I sketch a line with an Artistic Stroke
then copied as reference
and mirror/flip one of the strokes
and the result is like on the picture.

But I would like the shape is also mirrored.

@Subpath2 Added to the backlog. This is caused by the shape being transformed, while the brush is not transformed, just applied on the new shape.

@vectoradmin said in Mirroring / Flip does not work as expected:

@Subpath2 .... This is caused by the shape being transformed, while the brush is not transformed, just applied on the new shape.

That was also what I had suspected.
Thank you for taking note.

@Subpath This issue is actually a feature (applying the brush on the transformed shape).
But there was a missing feature related to this.
In Appearance panel, when the Brush style is selected on a brush object, the panel menu will have a Transform Content item enabled.
This can be used now to apply the brush on the transformed shape (unchecked), or first apply the brush on the non-transformed shape and then transform the whole brush (checked).
This should work in build 1.0.055

If i understand you right. You wrote that this was originally
intended as a feature, but I don't really see the benefit of it.

Found it. But it does not work properly.

Here are my steps:

I made a short artistic brush stroke
and made copy of it as a reference.
and flip the reference copy horizontally

But every time I edit this reference copy
e.g. with the Shape Editor Tool or when I move the
the original brush, the reference brush goes
goes back to its original state.

As it looks by now, it doesn't work properly with reference
and clone yet.

@Subpath I will try to replicate this issue. An example file could help.
