Fix Outline Stroke

I know this was an issue on the old Spectrum forum that doesn’t seem to have any ground here, and it still is an issue.

See quick video with imported complex vectors and a simple heart made in Figma.

Any idea when this bug will be addressed? Dropping it into Illustrator is not an appropriate solution.

    Hey All,

    This is a long standing bug that our engineers have been continuously logging and trying to fix. This generally only happens on icons imported from other apps, where the mirroring on the points is reversed or missing.

    Right now, the best workaround is to rebuild affected icons from scratch. Please note that redrawing with fewer points can also help.

    While we can’t guarantee an ETA on a fix/improvements, please know that our team follows this thread and takes everything you provide into consideration.

    Maybe try to put all objects in an auto-layout, and select all of them when doing the steps. If some fail, take them out and do them seperately.

    This works for some. The method doesn’t involve third party plugins:

    Any news? I’m working with a design system and there’s a shit ton of icons I need to flatten. Why does this have to be so complex?

      Lol, if the feature doesn’t work then don’t keep it in the build. Can’t even convert this basic shape…

        Just ran into this issue, even with straight-up circles.

        Ah, okay, for what it’s worth: in Advanced Stroke, changing the Join from “Miter” to “Round” on mine ended up being a workaround. The resulting outline was still broken, but it was broken within itself in such a way as I was able to do what I needed to.

        It may not be necessary to use “outline stroke”. Have you tried to resize the vector image by pressing k in Figma? Worked with me 😃
