A closed key that winds the other way is reversed keeping its start anchor.
Its dash offset was computed as if the reversed path ran back from position
0 instead of from the end of the subpath, so the dashes shifted by the
subpath length modulo the pattern period. The offset now uses the full
length in that case, and the dash test covers a closed key 40 long with a
7.5 period.
Measuring an instance of a symbol with 9-slice guides looked its map up
through Document::symbol_slice_map, which scanned the symbol list and
measured the art box again in new quick boxes, and NineSliceMap::place
and most_placed made new quick boxes of their own. Each of those boxes
built the symbol name index over the whole list on its first lookup, so
every 9-slice instance measured read every symbol once or more. Picking
an object inside a 9-slice instance's art with Direct Selection did the
same for each object of the art that holds a symbol instance.
- SymbolBoxes cuts the guides through the art box it has measured
(SymbolBoxes::slice_map), and places and counts the art with itself as
the boxes, in the mode quick boxes use. Art with no 9-slice map is
moved by the instance's transform without looking the map up again.
- Document::symbol_slice_map, place_symbol_art,
place_symbol_art_unclipped and edited_nine_slice use one set of quick
boxes for each call.
- symbol_part_at and symbol_part_outline keep one set of quick boxes
for the instance's art.
The new tests count the symbols read. Measuring 200 instances of a
symbol with guides and 200 of a symbol with guides holding it, among
2,002 symbols, read 1,205,204 symbols before; now each set of boxes
reads the list once. Picking in a 9-slice instance whose art holds 20
instances read 84,042 symbols among 2,001; now it reads the list at
most twice.
When two gradients with different stop counts are blended, the second stop at the other
gradient's step took the last stop within the step tolerance, so two close but distinct stops
became a hard step. It now takes the last stop of a step of its own there, and otherwise paints
what the gradient paints at that place.
A hue gradient that reflects unrolls through its curve, whose stops have no swatch links, so a
gradient along a closed key started elsewhere lost its links. The links now come from the
gradient's own stops unrolled as a Classic gradient's, in order, so stops at one place and the
stops where two runs meet keep their own links.
With a Type tool and exactly one character selected, the canvas shows up
to five of that character's alternate glyphs in a row beside it. A click
runs the command the Glyphs panel's double-click runs, as one undo step;
an arrow at the end opens the Glyphs panel on Alternates for Current
Selection when the character has more. Preferences > Type > Show
Character Alternates (showCharacterAlternates, on by default) turns the
row off.
An image or a gradient mesh with a visible Crop Marks effect, or with a
Vector Halftone effect that makes dots, is measured in a plot of the art's
bounds. A halftone that makes no dots, such as one past the effect's cell
limit, leaves the image out as before.
Select > Start Global Edit now also takes rotated copies of the selected
object or group, in the highlights before the start, in the Global Edit
Options' Results count and in the started edit. An edit reaches each copy
turned by that copy's angle, so an anchor moved to the right on the
selected object moves downward on a copy turned a quarter turn clockwise.
The copy's angle is the one that lays the selected object's anchors and
handles on the copy's in order (a least-squares fit in the unit box),
and the copy is the same shape when each point then lies within a
millionth of the larger side of the copy's box. Reflected copies and
copies stretched along one direction stay unmatched. With Size, a rotated
copy matches when it is the object rotated without scaling. The no-match
message now names only reflected copies, in every catalog that has it.
