Hi,

 

This issue really affects me, especially when I create an entire path, but then gets destroyed due to more points.

If theres not a way, can you do an update? This also affects when I want to mirror an object too.

What tool are you using to add points to a path? If I draw a path and then change its stroke width using the width tool I can add more anchor points along the path using the Pen tool and it doesn't affect the width properties. If I create a copy of the path and mirror it horizontally or vertically the width properties are mirrored with the path.

Pen tool.

Can you show an example? Does the path with the width profile applied change when you add anchor points?

Does the path change when you add points with the Width Tool?

Yes it does, all the time; I want it to stay the same.

Still, nothing


Just in case you do not know how Uservoice works:

you make a request. The engineers take a look at it. Other people take a look at it and add their vote if they decide they like it. The engineers watch that, see if they can implement it at all, consider the cost of implementing this and the benefit of it. This process can take *years*. And in the end if your request just doesn't fly with anyone, it can end up being not implemented. 

 

There is the plugin WidthScribe (not for free). You might want to check it out. I don't understand what you expect, so I don't know whether or not the plugin fits your needs.
