How to make a sharp edge at the end of a line?

Post by Mejin »

Hi,

In Anime Studion 9.2 Pro - the "regular" end of a line is rounded... (in earlier version there were a sharp edge at the end of a line).

I think I remember about an option where you can switch between these kinds of line-endings...
but couldn't find it by now...

Can you help me?
Is it possible in Anime Studion 9?

(I know I know - in earlier versions a lot of people wished for a rounded line end - but I'm just curious if you can
still go back to the hard edge(like a sharp cut)-line...)

All the best,
Mejin

Have two points at the end of a line. Set the outermost points line width to zero. Since the other one still has the overall line width, you get a nice sharp tapered edge.

With the shape selected, go to the style palette and uncheck "Round cap". This will will create square cap, but it will apply to the entire shape. slowtiger's method will allow you mix the end cap styles within the same shape.
