Generative Expand ruins stroked linework
Please fix the Generative Expand. It ruins your linework and makes random lines on object. It becomes impossible to work around because even the scissor tool cant cut it since there is a ton of nodes.
It also gets complicated with the shape builder as that tool ruins the stroke weights.
Lastly the stroke / fill thing it keeps swapping it to fill instead of stroke then you have to re put the lineweights every single time.
Some of the parts of the lines even get removed.

Generative Expand works like this:
1. A copy of the artwork gets rasterized, and taster-based generative fill is used to fill the void
2. The raster result is traced using Image Trace
We don’t have control over the settings used while tracing the result, but it ignores stroke detecting completely... Illustrator is not that good in tracing strokes in general (and to be fair, no other app or services I know does it well). It’s a common root problem.But yes, it should work better. Voted.
