Curvature Tool Path, one corner isn't sharp

Hi,

 

I've drawn a path using the curvature tool and made some sharp corners, however for some reason one corner isn't sharp, its flat, even though it has all the same settings as the others

 

I've tried changing the stroke corner and caps, and different size stroke but nothing works.

 

Any ideas? 🙂

 

I've attached pic.

Thanks

The mitre limit is too low. In the Stroke panel, increase it until you see the point.

Ohh, very cool, thanks 😄

Why would that happen, is it because its more of a narrow angle compared to the others?

Yes; the mitre limit means that a stroke's corner is 'mitred' off when the limit is reached.

 

The default is 10: this means that the corner is mitred when the point would be more than 10 times the stroke width.

 

The limit as a setting exists because with very narrow corners and no mitre limit, corners might extend off the entire canvas area (or be otherwise absurdly/undersirably long).
