Unfortunately quick grid only works while creating an object, which is usually the very minority of cases. I need to put an existing object in a grid. Move Date entry does work, but requires multiple steps. Thanks.

Is this still not possible? It's basic functionality.

This is needed more than ever now that the Contour Tool from V2.x can make things have much more nodes.

I made a harmless little joke about all of the convoluted workarounds that have been suggested on this thread for years. Nobody is attacking you, get a grip.

Then do a handstand, clap 4 times and bury a boiled egg in the back garden 🤣 This workaround does not always work either as rotating the rectangle often moves the shape. More importantly workarounds have been known for a long time, but we need a proper solution that works every time and does not involve lots of extra steps for such an extremely basic and easy function.

Yeah that's what I've done in the past with designer.

I realise there isn't any pixels, but this is for game development where empty space is often common. In the future I'd be using slices, but this is in the short term.

How do I disable the auto cropping this tool uses? I actually need the dimensions to be what I have in my selection, not just the active pixels within in? Thanks.

At the very least, create a plug-in architecture so others can do it. APIs can have versions, so the first plug-in architecture does not need to be full or perfect and take years or months to implement.

Indeed. I just don't understand how such a core feature that is easy to implement is still not in the software.

Thanks. I've been using the 2nd technique for a while and it does work, however I was hoping there was a snapping indicator for parallel and perpendicular somewhere

I have a blue rectangle that I'd like to make parallel to the white edge on the left. How can achieve this? A related question is how do I do this with individual curves on an object, but not all of the object?

Yeah I figured that it would be an invalid shape until the 2nd curve is added and until that time it would be in a no man's land. Thanks anyway.

Suppose I have two shapes that are both in the same curve like the first image. I want to join these two shapes with curves that I make with the pen tool as shown in the 2nd image. I've not found a way to do this. All of the examples online are for open curves or for shapes that are on separate curves. Instead I have to plonk down a rectangle or another primitive and boolean add it to the other shapes and then I can fiddle with the nodes. Is there no direct way I can use the node or pen tool to join the two objects? I want to emphasise these are both CLOSED objects and they are both on the SAME CURVE. Thanks.

Unfortunately I never got the original font from the client and it was an .ai file. When loaded into AD it was a curve.
