library_file_name kept CON, NUL, COM1 and the like, which Windows treats as
devices, not files. It now adds a - after such a name (CON-.json).
Part of #3602
perspective.move takes constrain: true instead of a plane-space
direction. For each object, the command snaps the move to the nearest
axis or 45-degree diagonal of that object's own plane, so a selection on
several planes keeps every object on a line of its plane. The tool sends
the raw pointer with the flag.
On a diagonal, Snap to Grid now moves along the diagonal by the nearer
per-axis correction, so that edge lands on its gridline.
perspective.move takes an optional constrain: [dx, dy], a plane-space
direction. For an in-plane move, Snap to Grid's correction is projected
onto that direction, so a move the Shift key constrains to a plane axis
or a 45-degree diagonal stays on that line when an object edge lies near
a gridline. The Perspective Selection tool sends the direction for
Shift moves and copies. Moves without the param behave as before.
The targets are in paint order, so the first selected object is not always the first target. The active row is now matched against the first selected object wherever it is among them.
Reduce to Basic Appearance kept the topmost visible fill and stroke even
when another fill or stroke row was selected in the Appearance panel.
It now keeps the selected row in place of the topmost one of its kind,
and in each other selected object the row equal to it. With ids, or
with no selected row, it keeps the topmost ones as before.
With a fill row selected in the Appearance panel, Add New Fill now
inserts a copy of that row directly above it and selects the new fill.
Rows already above the selected one stay where they are. Before, the
new fill was always a copy of the topmost fill, added at the top.
The selected row belongs to the first selected object. In a mixed
selection, an object that shares that row gets the copy above its own
equal row; an object that does not share it gets a copy of its top
fill on top, as before. With a stroke row selected, or with `ids` or
`target: "contents"`, Add New Fill works as before.
The panel drops rows that were Cmd- or Shift-clicked together when the
active row changes outside the panel, so after Add New Fill (button,
menu or shortcut) only the new fill is selected.
transparency.makeOpacityMask with two or more layers below the mask
object (or a layer and objects of other layers) wrapped the layers
themselves in a new top-level group, so a layer ended up inside a
group. A layer among several masked items now stands for its art: the
masked group takes the layer's visible, unlocked objects, a hidden,
locked or template layer gives none, and the layers stay where they
are. One layer under a mask object, or one layer alone, is masked as
before.
Blob Brush Tool Options gain Angle (-180 to 180 degrees, 0 by default)
and Roundness (0 to 100 percent, 100 by default), with a preview of the
tip and three dabs; a drag in the preview square sets the Angle. The
elliptical tip keeps its angle on the page along a stroke, a 0 percent
tip is drawn 0.1 percent as wide as it is long, and Size set to
Pressure still varies its size. path.blob takes angle and roundness,
and both values are kept with the tool's options.
While a non-round tip drags, the Blob Brush shows the outline of the
area it covers with its length label, and an Alt drag that smooths
shows the Smooth tool's thin line.
Alter Paths for Appearance wrote every stroke as its filled outline, so a
1 pt circle became two circles and a hatch, and an open arc became a
closed outline and a hatch: two cut lines where a CAM program expects
one. The option now outlines only the strokes a line can't draw: the ones
Preserve Appearance outlines, strokes wider than the widest lineweight
(2.11 mm, to the hundredth), and every stroke in R13 and R14, which have
no lineweights. Other strokes stay CIRCLE, ARC, SPLINE and LWPOLYLINE
entities with their lineweights; R12 keeps them as POLYLINEs with their
width.
A dashed stroke whose offset starts part way into its pattern is now
outlined with Preserve Appearance and with Alter Paths: a linetype always
starts at the start of its pattern, so the dashes were written in the
wrong place.
An open path with a single straight segment was written as a two-vertex
LWPOLYLINE (POLYLINE before R14). It is now a LINE entity from its start
to its end point. A stroke with a weight in R12, R13 and R14 keeps its
polyline, since a LINE has no width. Closed paths and paths with more
than one segment are unchanged.
Part of #1299.
The art that replaces an outlined or expanded path did not take the
path's hidden, locked or Knockout Shape state. Outline Stroke on a
hidden path, or Expand on a group with a hidden member, made the new art
visible (a filled and stroked path became half visible: the outline
shown, the fill copy hidden), and a locked member's art was unlocked.
The replacement now takes the path's visibility, lock and Knockout Shape
state, and the fill copies and clipping paths inside it are shown and
unlocked, so showing or unlocking the new art shows or unlocks all of it.
This covers Outline Stroke, and Expand's strokes, gradient fills and
pattern fills.
select.font (the Find Font dialog's Find button) selected every text
object using the font, including hidden or locked text and text in a
hidden or locked group or layer. It now selects only text that is
visible and unlocked through every group and layer, and not on a locked
artboard. Text on a visible, unlocked template layer is still found. A
font used only by hidden or locked text selects nothing.
Select > Same > Fill Color and Fill & Stroke from a face of a Live Paint
group now select the matching faces of that group only, and from any
other object they select no Live Paint face. Before, they matched faces
of every Live Paint group and paths outside them alike.
With a blend selected, the Contextual Task Bar's Corner and Smooth
buttons failed with "select paths or anchor points", since
`path.convertAnchors` only read paths. They now convert every point of
the blend's spine, as they convert every anchor of a path selected
whole, in one undo step. The key objects stay where they are.
With Direct Selection, the Control bar and the Properties panel now
show their Convert buttons for a selected blend too.
With Document Swatches as the library, traced fills and strokes take the
library color without a swatch link. Global, spot and tint swatches no
longer link the trace, so editing a swatch later leaves the trace
unchanged, and swatch order no longer decides whether a fill is linked.
Each region still takes the nearest library color, and a tint traces at
the color the tint swatch shows.
Path Precision Tools gains the Shared Edge Merge Tool, kept out of the
toolbars (All Tools drawer and Object › Plug-ins › Path Precision Tools,
no shortcut), and Keep Shared Points Together:
- Shared Edge Merge Tool (sharedEdge): over two paths touching at two
coincident anchors (tolerance 0 to 3 pt) hovering shows the two
stretches and the merged edge; a click replaces both with it, half way
between them, or following the upper (Shift) or lower (Alt) path. Both
paths stay closed or open, anchors either stretch has inside are
matched on the other, one undo step.
- Making ends: near anchors meet on a click and an anchor one path lacks
is added to match; Shift+Alt asks for this inside a stretch.
- Keep Shared Points Together: an option that makes Slide Anchor Along
Path, Extend Path and Set Anchor take coincident anchors along. Nothing
else in the app changes.
- Shared Edges section in the Anchor Inspector: brush diameter,
coincidence and the option.
- Commands addon.pathtools.mergeEdge and movePointsTogether, params
validated and covered by the command sweep.
- Cursor stand-in, catalog rows in every language, docs and tests.
With the Live Paint Bucket, Alt-click on vector art samples its fill,
stroke and stroke weight into the paint defaults, and on a placed image
it samples the pixel as a solid fill with no stroke. Alt+Shift-click
samples only the color under the pointer, including an intermediate
gradient color or image pixels, into the active fill or stroke. Neither
click paints or changes the selection or selected art, and the next
Bucket click paints with the sampled paint. While Alt is held, the
Bucket shows the Eyedropper cursor and no face or edge highlight.
appearance.copyFrom takes `defaultsOnly: true` to update only the paint
defaults, and paint.sampleColor takes `clearStroke: true` to clear the
stroke default after an image sample into the fill.
Saving a legacy .ai with transparent images flattened expands pattern
fills whose tile image is see-through or has opacity or a blending mode,
so the tile images flatten with the art under them. A pattern whose tile
is an opaque grayscale image with a colorize paint was not expanded, so
the writer drew the source gray pixels over white. A colorize paint now
counts too.
Path Precision Tools gains two tools, kept out of the toolbars (All Tools
drawer and Object › Plug-ins › Path Precision Tools, no shortcuts):
- Corner Tool (cornerTool): editable corners on any path through the
existing Live Corners. Hover shows an eligible anchor, a click cuts a
corner with the tool's radius and kind, a drag sizes it (Shift: whole
values), a corner's marker selects it and loads its values, resizes it
and removes it at 0 or on a double-click; a corner never grows past
what fits; an Alt-marquee cuts every eligible anchor inside.
- Corners section in the Anchor Inspector: radius, kind, selected count,
Apply to Selected Anchors.
- Slide Anchor Along Path (slideAnchor): a drag runs an anchor along its
curve, the neighbouring segments refitted by the keep-shape kernel;
Shift snaps where the tangent is a multiple of 45° from the constrain
angle.
- Commands addon.pathtools.cornerSet, cornerRemove and slideAnchor, one
undo step each, params validated and covered by the command sweep.
- Cursor stand-ins, catalog rows in every language, docs and tests.
object.lock.unselected is now reached by its key and as a command only:
the Object > Lock > Unselected Artwork menu item is removed, and the
command stays in the registry, the shortcut editor and automation.
In a partly selected clip group or compound path it now locks the
unselected members, the clipping path included, and leaves the container
and the selected members unlocked. It locks unselected guides while Lock
Guides is on. Hidden art and art on a locked layer stay unlocked, and a
selected layer's art counts as selected.
With a selection in isolation mode the command is enabled and locks only
the unselected art inside the isolated group. The other Lock and Hide
items keep their isolation behavior.
Lock and Hide still share one selector. A lock flag on it selects the
clip group, compound path and guide cases above; Hide > Unselected
Artwork keeps its behavior, and a test covers both directions.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The reference app locks all deselected artwork on Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+2.
VectorCraft had no command for it: Object > Lock held Selection, All
Artwork Above and Other Layers.
The new command, object.lock.unselected (Object > Lock > Unselected
Artwork), locks in one undo step the objects that Hide > Unselected
Artwork hides: every object that Select All takes and that is neither
selected nor holds a selected object. It returns the count. Hidden
objects stay unlocked. The selection stays as it is, Unlock All unlocks
the objects again and selects them, and with nothing to lock the
command records no undo step. Both commands now share one function,
which locks or hides the objects that the existing unselected helper
returns.
In isolation mode the menu item is disabled, and the command returns
the error "not available in isolation mode" that Hide > Unselected
Artwork returns there, and changes nothing.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
In vertical type, Alt+Down/Up (with or without Shift) steps kerning at a
caret or tracking of selected text, Alt+Left/Right steps leading, and
Alt+Shift+Right/Left steps baseline shift; Cmd/Ctrl makes five steps.
Horizontal type keeps its mapping. Selected type objects follow the same
rule when all of them are vertical, and a selection that mixes horizontal
and vertical type takes the horizontal mapping in one undo step.
Highlight Alternate Glyphs compares each glyph with required shaping
alone, which turns liga and calt off. Older Arabic fonts (such as the
legacy Arial of the Microsoft core fonts) put the mandatory lam-alef
ligature in liga instead of rlig, so every lam-alef was highlighted.
A lam + alef cluster (any alef form, marks allowed) is now never an
alternate candidate, whatever feature the font uses.
Adds a test font built in code (lam-alef under liga or rlig) and
host-independent regressions. Also two equivalent one-line repairs
strict Clippy needs on main: a nonminimal_bool in the Path Precision
Tools inspect check and is_none() in a gradient panel test.
Object › Plug-ins › Artwork Cleanup and a hideable Text row in its panel
gain text tools, each one undo step:
- Break Text into Lines / Paragraphs / Words / Glyphs: point type pieces
placed by the glyph of their first character, keeping their styles.
- Combine Point Text: one-line point type merged into as few objects as
it can, every glyph staying where it was (tracking and spaces, checked
against the layout).
- Split Text at Cursor, Remove Line Breaks, Remove Paragraph Breaks,
Set Alignment, Keep Position, Reset Text Transform and Replace
Missing Fonts.
Effect › Color Effects › Duotone… (addon.color.duotone, also in Object ›
Plug-ins › Color Effects) prints the grey-equivalent tone of each colour
with one to four inks, each with its own tone curve. It is a colour
adjustment like the add-on's others, so it stacks with them and works as
a filter through addon.color.filter.
- One tone of a swatch the document has gives a tint of that swatch,
linked, so a spot tone separates onto its plate; several tones give
the CMYK mix of their tints (the inks overprint, so they multiply).
- Colour adjustments now map paints with their swatch links
(ColorMap::apply_link); the existing adjustments behave as before.
- Skip Objects with Spot Colors leaves spot-linked colours as they are.
- The dialog has a row per tone and the picked tone's curve (the Curves
graph, reused), its points and Reset to Linear / Inverse.
Print Ink Fixes (addon.color.printFixes, Object › Plug-ins › Color
Effects › Print Ink Fixes…) scales CMYK colours over a total ink limit
down to it, removes white overprint and sets black overprint (Overprint
Black's logic) in a CMYK document, as one undo step, and reports what
changed. RGB documents are refused.
The panel opens both under Inks.
Deferred: an opaque undercoat, tones for type only, extra gradient stops
for smoother tints, curve flip and all-100 % buttons.
Each traced path filtered the whole library for its color, twice when
no swatch of that color was linked. The color-to-paint lookup is now
built once before the paths are filled. The first linked swatch of a
color still gives the fill, and the first swatch of that color
otherwise.
When a process swatch listed before a global or spot swatch showed the
same color, a traced fill of that color took the process swatch and
stayed unlinked. Of the swatches that trace as one color, the first
linked one now gives the fill, and the first one otherwise.
Follow-ups to the review of #4697 and #4698:
- With textAs: outlines, a .ai saved without PDF compatibility, read
from its editing data alone, has its type outlined too, as an empty
page or a text-only placeholder already did.
- Threaded type read from the editing data holds its story in its first
frame: it now flows through its frames before it is outlined, so each
frame's outlines show the text it holds, and the outlined frames
leave their threads.
- Each outline group keeps its type's opacity, blend mode, isolation,
opacity mask and effects (the same carry-over the flattener uses).
- A gradient-mesh corner (/N) holding anything but numbers is unread,
instead of being read with the numbers after it shifted into its
colour and opacity.
paint.invert and paint.complement on the Fill proxy, the Edit Colors
commands, the Blend commands and recolor.apply now recolor the color
that colorizes a grayscale or 1-bit image, as one undo step with the
other targets. Before, they left it unchanged. Expand Appearance and
Object > Expand bake color adjustment effects into that color too.
- A colorized image's pixels are not recolored; they stay the gray
coverage of its color. A stroke-only pass reaches the image's stroke
items and leaves its colorize color unchanged.
- A command that would leave a process color on a grayscale image with
an alpha channel fails with the existing message and changes nothing.
Object > Expand undoes its earlier steps when that happens.
- A colorized image counts as a filled object in a blend.
A colorized grayscale or 1-bit image draws its white pixels transparent and is written to
PDF with the image as a soft mask. Node::shows_transparency did not count it, so a PDF 1.3,
PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-3 export whose only transparency was a colorized image was not flattened
and kept the soft mask. A legacy .ai save also wrote such an image as opaque.
- shows_transparency counts a visible image with a colorize paint.
- The legacy .ai writer flattens or leaves out colorized images like other see-through images.
graphicStyle.addFromLibrary with apply: true and ids: null tried to
apply the style to no objects and failed with "no such objects" when
nothing was selected. A null `ids` now behaves as leaving `ids` out:
the style is applied to the selection when there is one, and only added
otherwise.
swatch.library.load, graphicStyle.loadLibrary, symbol.loadLibrary and
brush.loadLibrary read the whole file or decoded data before checking
`name`, so a call with a `name` that is not a string read the file
first, and with a missing file reported the file error instead of the
parameter error. The shared loader now checks every parameter before it
reads anything.
Effect › Color Effects › Vector Halftone… (addon.color.halftone, also in
Object › Plug-ins › Color Effects) draws its object as the halftone dots
Object › Vector Halftone makes, live: mono (one dot colour, or each dot in
the art's colour under it) or CMYK screens, the five dot shapes,
frequency, angle, invert and clip to the art's outline.
- The screens, dots and caps move to vectorcraft_effects::addons::halftone,
shared by the command (its behaviour and tests unchanged) and the effect.
- The renderer samples the art (vectorcraft_render::addons::halftone) and
keeps the dots by the object's content and what it reads from the
document, so unchanged art isn't sampled again; past 100000 cells per
screen the object draws as it is.
- Expand Appearance turns the object into its dots, and the SVG, PDF, EPS
and AI exporters write them as paths.
- Its dialog reuses the command's fields, without Keep Original.
Deferred: stochastic and radial patterns, a dot-gain curve, per-screen
separation settings, type or symbols as dots.
Path Precision Tools gains the Parametric Shape Tool: ten kinds of shape
(rectangle, ellipse, polygon, star, ring, arrow, cross, heart, gear,
speech bubble) that stay editable as numbers.
- Geometry in vectorcraft_pathops::addons::pathtools::shapes: each kind's
outline, corner rounding limited to the middle of a side, a fingerprint
of the outline, recovery of centre, size and rotation after a move,
turn or scale, and recognition of plain rectangles, ellipses and
regular polygons.
- The tool (parametricShape, All Tools drawer and Object › Plug-ins ›
Path Precision Tools only, no shortcut): drag from the centre (Shift:
45° steps), arrow keys change the count and values while dragging,
handles edit a selected shape, double-click places one.
- Commands addon.pathtools.shape.create / .set / .convert, one undo step
each; params checked (counts 3..1000, sizes up to 16384 pt).
- A shape keeps its numbers in one object-data entry (vc-pathtools-shape)
that SVG export already leaves out; anchor edits make it a plain path.
- Parametric Shape panel, cursor stand-in, catalog rows in all 25
languages, docs and tests.
With no library yet, library.add made and saved "My Library" before it
looked for the group or item to place the new one by, so a bad `group`,
`before` or `after` failed but left an empty library behind. The new
library is now kept only once the item is in it.
Art dragged off the canvas and colours dragged in from elsewhere (swatches, another library's)
used to be added at the end of the ungrouped items, wherever they were dropped. They now land
as items dragged within the list do: on another item of their kind, just before or after it by
the pointer's half and in its group; on a group, into it; away from the items, ungrouped at the
end as before.
library.add takes group and before/after, placed as library.moveItem places an item (the
placement is shared). A library change that fails partway now leaves the library as it was.
People reuse the same gradients across documents and rebuilt them by
hand. The Gradient panel now has a Presets menu: the presets of the
app's built-in gradient libraries, grouped by library (theme), then
the saved ones. Choosing one gives the gradient behind the active
proxy (or a solid paint) the preset's type, stops, method and dither,
keeping its placement, as one undo step, through paint.editGradient.
The panel menu saves the current gradient as a preset (named in a
dialog) and deletes saved ones; Hide/Show Presets toggles the row.
Saved presets are kept with the preferences, next to the other user
preset lists (width profiles, flattener, perspective). Stops linked to
a document swatch keep their colour, unlinked, since a preset is used
in other documents. Built-in presets can't be deleted; names are
unique.
Commands: gradient.presets.list, .apply, .save and .delete. The menu's
rows are drawn only while in view, as its headings are.
Tests: engine tests for list, apply (fill and stroke, placement kept,
one undo step), save (unique names, unlinked swatch stops) and delete;
panel tests for applying from the menu and saving, deleting and
hiding presets from the panel menu, including scrolling the menu to
the saved presets. Docs: gaps G13, target-app and UI parity, ROADMAP.
Two follow-ups to the empty-page fallback:
- A page counts as empty only when nothing on it was skipped: its only
notes are the page's own (art off the artboards, art past the page). A
page whose only content couldn't be read, such as an image that can't
be decoded, keeps its notes and goes through the usual check against
the editing data, instead of being replaced by it unchecked.
- With textAs: outlines, the document read from the editing data alone
has its type outlined. The usual path takes outlines from the page,
but an empty page (or a text-only placeholder, #1387) has none to give.
A built-in add-on under Object › Plug-ins › Smart Pen:
- The Smart Pen Tool draws and edits Bézier paths without switching
tools: a click adds the next segment straight or curved (a panel
toggle; Tab flips the segment being placed or the last one), a drag
makes a smooth point (Alt breaks the handle, Shift snaps to 45°, Space
moves the point), a curve after a straight segment joins it tangent.
- On existing paths it selects and moves points, removes a point keeping
the shape (Alt-click), toggles smooth/corner (double-click), drags
handles, reshapes a segment by dragging it and inserts a point on it
(Alt-click); it closes, continues and joins open paths.
- The Smart Pen panel: next segment straight or curved, remove points
keeping shape, make smooth, make corner, retract handles, close or
join.
The tool stays out of both toolbars as shipped; the All Tools drawer
lists it under the add-on's heading. Commands are addon.pen.*; the
existing Pen tool, commands and menus are unchanged.
A built-in add-on under Object › Plug-ins › Path Precision Tools:
- Anchor Eraser Brush: painting over selected paths removes the anchors
under the brush that the outline can do without within a tolerance,
refitting the handles beside them (Alt ignores the tolerance, Cmd/Ctrl
deletes without refitting, pen pressure can scale the brush); one undo
step per stroke.
- Extend Path tool: dragging an end of an open path carries it on
straight, by stretching its last curve or along the circle it curves
on, or shortens it back along itself.
- Measure & Inspect tool: drag to measure distance and angle; hover a
path to read segment and path length, area, curvature, tangent and
anchor angles and handles, in the document's units.
- Anchor Inspector panel: the selected anchor's position and handles as
numbers, with Make Smooth (auto-smooth rule), Make Corner, Equalize
Handles, Remove Points Keep Shape, Add Points and three ways to close.
- Add Points at Crossings and Split at Crossings.
The tools stay out of both toolbars as shipped; the All Tools drawer
lists them under the add-on's heading. Commands are addon.pathtools.*;
the existing commands, tools and menus are unchanged.
