Issue Regarding Strokes

Post by chiefr_suthrland »

Hey, how's it going guys. I just recently purchased ASP & I'm having a bit of a dilemma, nothing too big. So far, everything's working quite flawlessly...for the most part, that is. The software is "very" easy to use and I'm really enjoying it. However, I seem to be having a problem with the strokes. For some reason, I'll open up the app and make a few layers, the strokes will be working perfectly fine. Then randomly, maybe like 30 min later; on all the new layers I create, the stroke option will appear translucent, preventing me from clicking on it. Then I'll have to either reopen the project, or restart the app entirely. I was wondering if anyone else has ran into this problem and possibly know of a solution. Thanks in advance :mrgreen:

That sounds backwards. Upon opening ASP, both the fill and stroke options should be grayed out (unclickable). Those options are only available if you have a shape selected or are editing a saved style. Both the draw shapes and create shape tools have options to include stroke and/or fill before creating the shape. Otherwise, you need to use the select shape tool to select a shape for editing.

Well yea, that's common sense. I'm not new to editing software, I use a lot of complex software. I really don't understand why it keeps doing this...it's pretty annoying/frustrating
