How to make Corner Component inktrap always parallel to baseline

Is there a way to ensure that a corner component always remains parallel to the baseline? I think this image explains it all.


this is how I setup the inktrap.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Try the align options. Select the corner component and try the different options in the info panel at the bottom center. There should be left, center, right and no align.

Thanks, but unfortunately none of those work the way I need.

Then you need to fine-tune things by adding “right” and “left” anchors to your corner component. I don’t quite remember in which way exactly, but you can fiddle around a bit.

I haven’t tried it. but you might need to draw a inktrap where the cut is perpendicular to one side already.

When I do this, it makes nice inktraps, but not really what I am looking for. Also the connection on “a” has a bump on the curve.

Oh, but this seems to work. I have to test it but when I use path with just two points it might be the solution.
