The middle is similar to the result I would like except extra nodes were created top and bottom, this was done using the new scissor tool that is awesome by the way. The top is what I start off with but when I run weld all or boolean union of two the result is the bottom. It also does this with other curves.
I did use this function this morning to create a bar with smooth rounded edges, went to do it again after the update and this happened. This may be a simple setting but I am struggling to find it.
Thank you for helping. The menu changed a bit in 1.7 but it is the same setting.
I don’t understand the setting fully but I think it comes down to, for me with 1.7 I was doing something in Lightburn that I usually do in Inkscape. Which is modify smaller objects and with a project needing to get done I didn’t notice. I’ll have to keep playing with it but I think that was it.
What I think I’ve found out today is that in Lightburn there is a correlation between size of object and nodes created when modifying the object. I’m in the middle of trying to get orders out the door so I will have to come back to this, it’s just funny that this update added so many cool things I didn’t switch between the two and just stayed in Lightburn for the first time and I created an issue for myself.
Again thank you, that setting helped a lot. I’m only responding to give more context and hopefully help someone like me down the road.
Honestly I’m probably doing this all wrong but stumbling through things until I get a decent result is what I have had to do. I am trying to go back and relearn from the start but it can be hard when things still need to get done.
Both on left were made in Lightburn both on right made in Inkscape.
The bottom two were made by combining a 1mm circle and 1mm square, the top two were 200mm circles and squares. I use these because of the simplish nature of the humble square and infinigone.
This can become more pronounced with more complex shapes. The reason this is important to me is that if like in the first pictures I get those straight lines in what was a curve and I scale up and forget about them they become very noticeable and things like having a tight fitting inlay can become difficult.
Honestly I have learned so much here in the past day or so, I think I’ll be scouring these pages quite a bit.
Edit- I didn’t think about this until after I posted this but I do have an additional question for any who may see this. Would be useful to change the title since I don’t believe it was the update? It was more that I changed my habits due to the update.
