How about enabling the use of the lasso tool for objects as well as nodes (iPad). Seems like an oversight, would certainly be helpful to me, thanks.

The box is done!

This is the project in Designer, the output will be 6 SVG layers separated by noncontiguous colors. The layers are then imported onto Carbide Create, a CAM program which will generate the code to engrave these layers onto a faux ivory substrate with a CNC machine, specifically a Nomad. As each layer is engraved, it is inked and sanded flush and the process repeated with subsequent layers. The pic above is a test piece, after the final is produced the oval will be cut out and inlaid into a box.

Yes, thank you Walt. Sorry for not specifying, I rarely use my desktop version since the iPad allows pencil use.

Please move 'Select Object when Intersects Selection Marquee' so it is accessible in the active file versus having to leave the file, go to Settings, navigate to Tools, toggling then returning to the working file. Edit: This applies to iPad.

Still a bug! I forgot about this issue until I tried again today.

Curious whether there's a way to lock an object, such that it doesn't scale for example, but still allow for it to be translated. [One of my Designer uses is for stained glass work. Once I've designed the pieces, all fitting together precisely, I need to move them around individually to fit on stencils or pattern assemblies to print out while maintaining their shapes and sizes. I often see that I've changed the proportions instead of grabbing the object to drag for translation and then have to hope I haven't missed undoing any of these errors.]

How about some spacers to separate items (layers and groups) in the Layers panel. Maybe two choices: 1/2 normal height of an item and 1/4 height. These would be devoid of symbols and text and could be dragged and dropped like other items. I frequently create dummy items to separate clusters of items in the Layers panel allowing for faster parsing. But the dummy items take up a full height and don't parse as quickly as they could due to the identifying icon on the left. (I'm mostly working on an iPad Pro.)

Paul's response reminded me I should have included my device specs, a 3rd gen. 12.9" iPad Pro.

Evidently I'm using 96 dpi, I had to search to find this. I think I set it long ago such that SVG exports were compatible with CNC . I just tried resetting the DPI to 192 (96 x 2) and I get the same idiosyncracy. Edit: Paul's response below reminded me I should have included my device specs, a 3rd gen. 12.9" iPad Pro.

Working in Designer on iPad (in millimeters), I find that the artwork, as measured on the screen with a ruler, is equal to the dimensions as measured by Designer when the Navigator is set to 50% for the scale of the artwork in the display. That is, if I create a square 50.0 mm on a side, it physically measures as such at 50% enlargement. This has been true since version 1. I've looked through the Settings but don't see where I might have enabled this behavior in some way. I'm curious. I can live with this but, not knowing the source, feel like I must constantly check when creating a new file lest it changes somehow.

Oh, oh. The decimal precision display does not apply to the Stroke Width where I need it most! (I have posted this in bugs.)

On iPad the new options for decimal places are not reflected in the Width display of the Stroke panel, nor in the Width adjustment panel (but do appear in the Stroke icon).

Yea! All other modifications henceforth are pure gravy!

Is it possible to delete a post before anyone has responded?
