Hi,
I've come across yet another problem with the contour tool. In some circumstances it ignores subpaths when generating the contours.
Original without contours (see attachment):
Same shape after applying a 3 mm inside contour. Looks just fine.
But if I instead use a 3.5 mm inner contour, the innermost subpath is ignored and does not get outlined:
Hello Fredrick; Try braking up the drawing and doing each part separately. That worked just fine.

Hi George,
yes, that is a workaround for this particular case. But in our case we have a developed a plug-in that invokes the contour functionality in code. The plugin generates loads of contours for different kinds of shapes. If the contour function does not work, we get strange results. So we need the underlying bug to be fixed.
Regards,
Fredrik
Actually I've experienced the same results with all the versions of CD. Wouldn't exactly call it a "new" bug. I do agree that it needs to be addressed though.

Hi.
Yea, same bug.
I experience it every day. I don't like exporting to AI then sending to Flexi then back to Draw to make my contour, but I have to do it many times a day.
Here's another one. This is really annoying. Can anyone at Corel confirm this as a bug?
Trying to apply a 4 mm inside contour renders this incomplete result:
