hiding edge produces white line when rendered

Hi,
I'm having an issue with "hide edge." When I use it to get rid of a line between an arm and a hand, it looks fine in ASP, but when I render, a white line appears where the edge was. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try to avoid it by checking on the "Gap filing" check box in the Vector tab of the Properties dialogue.

For some reason (probably a bug) the shape just below the highest one sharing that edge has a bit of an overlap (it appears bigger than the one above it). The same color side by side in the shape order kind of hides this problem, but putting any other color below the highest on that edge will show this 'gap'.

So the easiest workaround (I think) would be to delete that underlying shape and define a new edge that won't conflict with the higher shape.

Mmm, I wonder if quoting myself makes me an ass.

You might want to pick up this tool:

It's 7feet's shape tool that shows the shape stack order. This is a must for sorting out these complicated shape order problems.

Hopefully that helps.

Yep, and as Wes said in that earlier thread, the best bet is to delete the shapes and draw them again (in particular, make sure you don't construct a compound shape for your arm).

I just redrew some of my arm shapes this morning for that very reason -- my sleeve and arm were a compound shape and had the line problem. Breaking them up into separate arm and sleeve shapes solved the issue.
