Taper Correction Not Working

Anyone have any fixes for using the Taper Correction feature?

Every time I use it, plug in my values and go back to the work screen my image disappears.

Just tried it for both image and vectors. Nothing disappeared here.

Maybe a MAC user can test?

Thank you for drawing our attention. I was able to reproduce this behavior, in both the 1.7.07 released and the RC3 for our upcoming 2.0, when the original image is rotated 90Âş or 180Âş. I have generated to report for further investigation. :slight_smile:

Awesome while you’re at it why don’t you rename all the stuff to actually make sense :wink:

“All” is a lot. Are you willing to be a bit more specific?

Absolutely.
The naming of the systems seems very arbitrary and a bit confusing. Top length bottom. Then asks top is (left, right). This seems very arbitrary to me. I am sure it is not, but the cup picture as reference disnt sync with my mental visual. For my situation, my “top” corresponded to length, which was not an option. I selected right, but it ended up being wrong. I was correcting for a taper along the X axis, so it seemed it should have been straightforward, but was not.

Maybe just a few more pics, or an axial reference would help. I ended up just trial and erroring it.
Hope this helps?

edit had a chance to rest and am clarifying a few things so it may be more helpful to what is confusing to us laymen / end user.

The main issue I am having is top / length / bottom in relation to the "Object Top is: " dropdown…in relation to what? I feel that we all use our own frame of reference when looking at an object (for instance in orthographic projection the front/top/side usually has to do with the end orientation of an object, but in actuality front/top/side is arbitrary outside of placement of the 3D object within a space, and has more to do with aligning the axis to have the correct, desired outcome on which side is facing where.

I believe that there is a bit of a disconnect between what I am assigning in my head as top/length/bottom, and what is actually referenced on the machine side. I lack the input to align my image with the programs axis to sync what I need to happen.
