Boolean operations remove curvature in an object.

The middle is similar to the result I would like except extra nodes were created top and bottom, this was done using the new scissor tool that is awesome by the way. The top is what I start off with but when I run weld all or boolean union of two the result is the bottom. It also does this with other curves.

This was on the edge of a letter.

I did use this function this morning to create a bar with smooth rounded edges, went to do it again after the update and this happened. This may be a simple setting but I am struggling to find it.

      I’m not completely sure but I would try to make adjustments here:

        : Thank you for helping. The menu changed a bit in 1.7 but it is the same setting. I don’t understand the setting fully but I think it comes down to, for me with 1.7 I was doing something in Lightburn that I usually do in Inkscape. Which is modify smaller objects and with a project needing to get done I didn’t notice. I’ll have to keep playing with it but I think that was it. What I think I’ve found out today is that in Lightburn there is a correlation between size of object and nodes created when modifying the object. I’m in the middle of trying to get orders out the door so I will have to come back to this, it’s just funny that this update added so many cool things I didn’t switch between the two and just stayed in Lightburn for the first time and I created an issue for myself. Thank you again.
