While I'm at it, here's a link for the Bake-2-PNG tool I mentioned...

Whoops! Sorry, this is incorrect. Wes' Create Shape mod does replace (non-destructively) the native tool. I had to use the mod this morning and saw this. It's no biggie unless the latest native Create Shape has features the mod doesn't.

@Synthsin75, I saw a Moho 14-specific version on the Stacked Shape Tools topic page yesterday. Is this the reason the mod was updated for Moho 14?

I think had previously modified the mod so it loaded as a separate tool, and then I forgot I did that. I was wondering if this is no longer necessary with the latest version.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Oh! I should check that. For some reason, I thought the round caps option was broken and always stuck on round, but I could be mistaken about that.
Yeah, it's broken. I drew a simple path, and unchecking Round Caps hid the cap only on one end of the path.

I think previously, it didn't work at all, so this is an 'improvement'. :D

I'll submit a report later today.

The update was to add new changes to the v14 tool. I use the replacement because you can't use spacebar for shape creation unless you use the LM script name.
If you're not using classic keyboard shortcuts, that probably doesn't effect you.

On smooth non-peaked corners it works.
But, apparently, if the second point on a curve is peaked, the first point always has a round corner. That is a bug.

In the meantime, you can correct this by very slightly unpeaking the second point, which shouldn't be noticeable.
Or add a slightly unpeaked point between the first and second points.

Ah! Thank you, Wes. This info is very helpful! :D
