I cannot get 'Convert fill to stroke' to work

Post by magnussandstrom »

Hi, I cannot get the new feature 'Convert fill to stroke' to work on this file. I would like to convert the magenta die-line to a stroke, but nothing happens when I use the new feature 'Convert fill to stroke' in the Pitstop inspector. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Can somebody try it?

It seems like a problem I have had as well.
I have reported it to Loïc, which have given it to development for them to find out why it does not work.

Hi Magnus, can you try making sure each sub-path is closed? You can use the Object Browser to easily select each subpath separately, then right click and select Path - Close Path (if it says "Open Path" instead, then it's already closed).

After closing everything, try converting fill to stroke again.

Hi guys,

The PitStop 24.11 release will include a fix for such cases. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

I have tested this in the released version and it has solved the issue with my test-file.
