Mainly it's a combination of not knowing any better and ease of use, I found it easier to use the pen tool to quickly lay out the end points for curves and then move the cures after the fact. I've only just started learning the different tools, node types etc. So thanks for the tips I'll have a look into Smooth and Smart nodes and see what they're about.

Yeah I'll have a play with it, maybe I can get away with doing them in bigger batches than one. Do a number of them, bake them, move on. I'm guessing baking them sorta locks the corners removing any calculations they might be involved in.

Thanks Garry, I'm new to Affinity and vectors in general, so my work flow might not be ideal and not totally sure how certain actions will affect performance. I guess in the future I will try to leave corner tool till later on. Thanks

Hiya, here is an example of what I mean, feels very juttery. This is very early on in the picture too, it gets progressivly worse the more points I edit, once to the point of crashing. tree2.afdesign

After a bit more investigation, I believe it's mainly after using the corner tool on a point, does this normally slow things down this much?

Hiya hoping someone can help me with this; I've been experiencing quite a bit of lag/slowdowns whilst performing quite simple actions. Just moving nodes and creating curves is very juttery and slow. I have a 10900k processor, 3080ti graphics and 32GB of ddr5 ram. I'm not sure that performance should be this bad, are there any options I can adjust to make things a bit smoother? I've tried toggling off hardware acceleration but that just made it worse. Thanks, Andrew
