nametag Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Hi, I'd like to request a feature that would allow me to add nodes directly between existing nodes on a shape, similar to how Illustrator's "Add Anchor Points" tool works. I think this could be even better if you could select which nodes you want to add nodes between, rather than this only working for the entire shape. For example, if I have a circle with 4 nodes, and I select the top and left nodes and use this tool, it would add a single node evenly spaced between the two on the existing path at the top-left of the circle (see screenshot). If I select the entire shape, it would add 4 nodes, one between each connecting pair. Thanks! Aammppaa, Markio, will_scobie and 2 others 5 Quote

.: NICKY G. :. Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 +5 1. would be great if, unlike "AI" these subdivisions were equidistant from each other (would divide the track into equidistant points), it is that one could decide at the start in how many parts to divide the track (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ... 999) 2. It would also be nice instead (I do not know if it is already possible), reduce the number of points, simplifying the track only with the essential Nodes.

coffeeCola Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 +1. I found it really confusing when I couldn't add extra points to a shape with the pen tool, and constantly retracing the shape so that I can add the extra anchor seems inefficient, to say the least. PriscillaB 1 Quote
prophet Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 +1 and bonus +1 for @.: NICKY G. :.'s idea for multiple divisions. Have always been frustrated when needing to divide a segment into thirds. PriscillaB, .: NICKY G. :., will_scobie and 1 other 4 Quote
Macjelly125 Posted May 9, 2021 Posted May 9, 2021 +1. Would like to see this feature! .: NICKY G. :. 1 Quote
PriscillaB Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 +1. I'd love to be able to use this in the same way it works in Illustrator. E.g. create a rectangle, then create a new anchor point midway along the short sides of the rectangle. Then drag that anchor point inwards to create a banner/ribbon shape. Thanks! .: NICKY G. :. 1 Quote

_ellen Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 Ah, thanks, for the welcome and your answer. That's awesome, I'm on V1 though, didn't even realize there is a V2 I'm in the middle of a career switch; graphic designer turning market gardener. So I'll manage adding the extra anchor points manually with the node tool, for now. Hangman 1 Quote
