List of questions and software improvements
Dear Sirs,
I am writing to clear the following open issues, after having tested the versions 0,48 for Win7, 32 bit and 0,91 for Win7, 64 bit (Win7, Professional SP1 is installed on my computer):
1) when I draw a line (freehand), the result is a path with a big number of anchor points, which make it difficult, to change the shape of the line in a second step. Is this high number of anchor points due to a not very good mathematical equation to define curves? By using other computer programs, a freehand line does not generate so many anchor points.
2) When I paint an object, the software is not able to fill the object exactly, by reaching for example automatically the middle of a freehand line. Are you developing such a function or is it always necessary to match lines and colors manually?
3) By using many types of brushes, the path of a line is often made of a two parallel lines instead of a single path. This could cause problems, if a laser machine has to use your .svg file. Other software packages offer many options to create a path with a single line. Have you already tested the compatibility of your software with numerical control machines such as laser ones? However, I will check it with a laser company.
4) If you make a drawing on paper and then you scan it, a function, which is able to create automatically or very quickly a path, by starting from an existing drawing, could be very useful. Is there such a function in your software? I found only one function, which is able to define a point a two tangents.
5) The visualization about colors and line thickness could be improved. It is not always very easy to understand, which color belongs to which object or function. I am speaking for example about the function to fill objects with colors, which are indicated at the top/right position while in the bottom/left position there is the color of the object. Moreover, the thickness of a line is not always very clear as well, as you have probably to multiply to parameters to understand the real thickness.
I would be grateful, if a could get an answer per email. Thank you in advance.
Best Regards
