[Snapping nodes together]

Dear MEB,

Thanks for your reply, it works of course. I am coming from the CorelDraw community so I still need some time to get used to your wonderful product.

[Snapping nodes together]

Dear forum members,

 

I have problems with snapping two nodes together. Let us say for example that I created two objects of arbitrary shape and I would like to snap a node of one object to a node of the other object without changing the shape of the objects. It seems to me that somehow I cannot 'grab' the objects by their nodes.

Thanks,

[Size problem when importing eps images]

Dear Forum Members,

 

I have a minor problem in AD on OSX El Capitan. I have to import LaTeX texts into my image. In CorelDraw my method is the following: 

 

1. I generate an eps file of the required text in TeXShop.

2. I import the generated eps document in Coreldraw. The imported eps image (text) preserves its size.

 

The same method almost works in Affinity Designer, but the size of the text is compressed. I figured out that the reason of this is that (for some reason) AD imports the (purely vector graphics) eps file in 72 dpi and my original AD document (in which I want to paste the eps text) has 300 dpi resolution. One solution for this problem is that I change the resolution of the imported eps file in the document setup (making sure that the object rescale with page).

Is there a way to set the default resolution for imported vector images? Or do I have to change the resolution every time from 72 dpi to 300 dpi?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

[Rotating objects without scaling]

Dear All,

 

I recently switched to Mac from PC and I was looking for an alternative of CorelDraw which I have been using in the past years. After trying out the trial version of AD a few days ago I purchased the program and I really like it. However, I have a question which I cannot cope with.

When I try to rotate an object around one of its corners (by pressing ctrl and clicking on the node at the opposite corner) the object is rotated and scaled at the same time. How can I prevent the object from the undesired scaling?

Thanks in advance. Cheers,
