    This was not quite served to us on a silver platter... had to figure the shortcut myself.

    Hello! ad 2) tried the CTRL-ALT-backspace deletion, and it seems to work just fine... was there an update? ad 3) Is there a way to delete nodes like this?
  3. Tupaia
    Hello! Any news on that one, or any ambition to implement it? I could use it at the moment. Thanks! Best regards

    Figured... it's CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE under Windows. However, as TonyO said, the algorithm is not too smart trying to maintain the curvature.

    Hi! Sounds very good, but how does this work on Windows? Tried any combination of modifier keys and DEL/BACKSPACE, but nothing happens. Thanks!

    True, but it misses a Center! That cripples it, because how do you rotate/scale about an arbitrary center now? Illustrator can do this! Posted this here already. Sorry, bit OT. +1 for Free Transform!!
  7. Tupaia
    Illustrator can do this - select nodes(points), an there's this "axis icon"/center to place.

    Hello! It's about consistency. I see a transform box, and I expect it to have a center, no matter if I'm in object mode (Move Tool) or component mode (Node Tool). One can ask the opposite question: what sense does it make NOT to be able to rotate or scale about a freely chosen point in point mode?? Also, the transform panel is inactive in that mode. Shouldn't be, either. Thanks for listening!!

    Gosh, you are right! That friggin right mouse button has to be held as well... A-Team, please listen: stop that nonsense with the right mouse button as modifier key! It's simply not a good idea. It's very hard and fumbly to do that with a Wacom pen, which is my input device of choice. Same goes for the feature "Select object when intersects with the selection marquee", which is also invoked when pressing LMB and RMB at the same time. This is simply unergonomic, could you please listen to that feedback you got from many people already and change it to some modifier key on the keyboard? Thanks so much for the feature, though!!

    Hi! Talking about the improved Node Tool, not the Move Tool.
  11. Tupaia
    Hello! Has been discussed, I know, but scattered all over the place. With the Node Tool, it should be possible to delete nodes in these variants: - Without adapting the neighbouring tangents - that's the existing behavior. Shortcut could be: left-doubleclick (besides DEL) - With adapting the neighbouring tangets, so that the curvature is preserved as good as possible (CorelDraw can do this). Possible shortcut: CTRL-left-doubleclick - With also deleting the neighbouring curve segments. Possible shortcut: CTRL-ALT-left-doubleclick. Regarding shortcuts: Choose any combination of mouse pointer and modifier keys you like for node editing, but avoid having to use DEL or other keys wich are harder to reach. Thanks for considering!! Best regards

    Hello! AD 1.7.0.188 is here. Tried that "move by center" thing, but cannot figure how it's done - it hasn't been introduced yet, right? Cheers!
  13. Tupaia
    Hello! The new Transform Mode of the Node Tool in AD 1.7 is a very welcome feature, thanks for that! Looks like there is the transform Center missing, though, like in the Move Tool. I'm aware that this center would be a temporary, meaning after deselecting the nodes, it will be lost. However, it should be there. Could you put this on the list, please? Thanks!!

    Hello! To confirm: In the field of architecture, people use Illustrator's DWG/DXF import/export frequently - in the architectural office I work in since recently, it's the same. DWG/DXF, are industry standards, and will remain so for many years. Implementing those will open the doors to the world of architectural graphics some more - it's in your interest! Don't filter down your target group to graphic designers/illustrators only. At home, I have replaced Adobe by Affinity. Would love to see this happening in the office, too, one day. And forget about PDF workarounds. Thanks!!
  16. Tupaia
    Wonderful! Thanks!!
  17. Tupaia
    +1 for DWG import/export! Thanks!!

    Hi Chris_K! Thanks, I see. What I'm asking is possible in Photoshop, as you might know. Looks like Mask layers are a different species in AP. However, alpha information is basically just a greysale image, so I see no good reason why making Mask adjustments should be more complicated than necessary. Best regards

    Hello! Problems with snapping in this version. When snapping is on, often when I move objects, AD takes a 20 second break and then displays a "Snapping timeout" error. With bigger drawings, AD hangs like forever and has to be killed in the Task Manager. Thanks!
  20. Tupaia
    Hello! I'd like to make Adjustments like Levels, Brightness/Contrast etc. on a Mask Layer, to reduce edge fringes. It is obviously possible to put Adjustments under the Mask, but they seem to have no effect. Is it me, or is this a restriction or bug? Thanks a lot! AP 1.6.5.123
  21. Tupaia
    Thanks! If it is not asked too much... (please do!! =D )
  22. Tupaia
    Hi! Unfortunately, I can confirm that! Using a Wacom Cintiq Companion, Windows 10 1709. Clip Studio etc. work flawlessly, but AP is almost unusable when drawing. Very slow viewport performance, 'jumpy' brush... maybe the palm recognition is broken? ... CPU load is pretty high, too, the fan is often at maximum. Just doing some rather simple line artwork here. Thanks!

    I do this feature request / testing thing for some time now, like years, for numerous applications (3ds Max, Softimage back in the days, Rhino, ...) and it's a common mistake to believe we have any influence on the order of these (usually long) wishlists. The fact that you don't vote for a good idea won't bring your other wishes any quicker to realization. Last word's always on Affinity. It is and should be simple, actucally: if you like a suggestion, vote for it. Never mind when or how it gets implemented.
  24. Tupaia
    Exactly! =) Maybe some illustration would have helped to get the idea across. People tend to have a short attention span these days. Posted the same wish here.

    Hi! Thanks for the tip! However, it's a workaround. > change to the Pen tool > draw a line > change to the Node tool > select the nodes > move the nodes > select line > delete line > done. If you could choose, would you prefer that, or what I proposed: move the Center > move the Center holding CTRL > done. At the end of the day, a good interface is about saving mouse clicks, and thus paving the way for a smooth, fast and fluent workflow, right? Just mentioning, because you didn't click the 'like' button, so I'm a bit under the impression that you are satisfied with the way this can be achieved as of now.
