Good to know. Is there a feature request for something that could help with this in the future? A basic "align selected nodes horizontally / vertically" function?

i look forward to hearing your findings! in the mean time, do you have any suggestions as to how i can solve my tedious problem, without manually dragging several hundred anchor points ?

Sorry if I wasn't explaining well enough! Setting W/H to zero was mentioned above, so I was giving it a try. Yes changing the X and Y moves all the points around, together. But changing the W/H (seems to) change the relative distance between the points. The higher the number, the further apart they are spread along an axis, and they come closer together when the number is low. Is there a reason why I'm unable to set it to zero? Maybe a picture would help. (http://imgur.com/kD6FplQ) The clump of nodes in the centre, is an example of what I'm working with. I need them all to converge (align horizontally and vertically), and then i need to repeat that action a few hundred times across the document, for every bunch of nodes where the 2 or more triangles meet. Is there a way to do this without dragging every individual point ? If there isn't, i need to know, so that i can start spending time actually dragging rather than trying to find a more efficient way to do it :lol:

Thanks MEB! Yup i figured that bit out from other similar threads/posts in the forum. was more curious about the workaround that was mentioned above using the transform function. What i want to be able to do is after selecting a bunch of anchor points from different triangles (specifically, one point from each triangle), i need a quick way to make them all converge at the same point, without having to individually drag each one into place. The snapping definitely makes the dragging process easier, but the hours are gonna pile up if i have to do this for 5-6 anchor points x a hundred different places where i need nodes to converge for my illustration. Is there any reason why the transform panel won't let me set the W / H to 0 px ? sometimes it displays 0 or 0.2 or 0.1 after i'm done dragging the points close to each other. But it wont let me key those values in manually. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide!

I'm new to affinity and trying to do some low poly art. Aligning anchor points is crucial to my sanity and i cant find a way to select a bunch of vertices from neighbouring triangles and get them all to align together at the same node. the W / H solution seems to help, but for some reason it wont let me set the value to less than 1px. any idea what i might be doing wrong ?
