Path Union in .91

Asked by Rebecca

Path Union in v .91 is not working. It works great in v .48.5, but v .91 will not create a path union. Is there a work-around for this or something? To clarify, if you draw in .91, the union option does not work in .91 OR if you copy that object to .48.5, it does not work in .48.5 either. If you draw in .48.5, it works beautifully.

Hi Rebecca,

hhm, could it be that this is

Quote:

"The difference between the two versions is that 0.48.5 creates paths with nonzero fill rule, and 0.91 with evenodd fill rule. The union command removes the gaps with nonzero, but not with evenodd."

Try to change the fill rule before union-ing and please report back if it helps.

Regards,

Thank you. That worked. And you showed me a feature I did not know existed! Score!
