Lines with rounded ends

Post by lpbaker »

Right now lines have square ends, which is especially noticeable on thick likes. If there was an option to make the end round rather than square I think that would be nice for certain drawings. I did try to emulate it using a round brush but it doesn't work well.

Yes, it would be great if this was built into ASP.

Until then, check out ponysmashers's amazing work on this topic:

I think it is one feature that MUST BE on future versions. We have been asking it for years and I see no reason why it couldn't be implemented.
I hope SM and Mike be listening.

@neeters_guy - thanks for the links to the existing topics. That solution using circles in the joins is very neat, I'll probably go with that for my immediate needs.

Every day I'm more and more amazed what I can do better in ASP compared to Animate :)

I too have been a bit frustrated with a lack of "end caps" for strokes. That new script is AWESOME and is almost the perfect solution until AS gets real end caps.
