[solved] Odd behaviour with combining paths

Postby BKB » Thu Sep 13, 2007 8:49 pm

Here is a scribble of my children:

I tried to combine some of the scribble paths together:
Image
Oddly, it seemed to be random which path style was taken for the combined path. For the downstroke of the N here seemed to have some dominance so it was impossible to use its style when the paths were combined:
Image
Is it possible to choose which path's style is used when the paths are combined, or is this a bug?

[If anyone wants the SVG for this scribble to check, I'll email it, but I don't have a download site.]

It inherits the style from the one at the back, so if you page down the one whose style you want to keep so its below the other before combining, itshould keep that one.

Thanks, I'll try that.
