HugoEgon Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hey guys, first time after more than 5 years of affinity designer, I need to ask something which would be so helpful to know. The title basically says it already, I have a node which, for whatever reason only has a node control on only one side, now I want to smoothen the curve on the other side of the node also and I could use the bezier or smart option, but that also does change the existing node control and I have to adjust it again. Not only a little extra work, but also accuracy won't be as good as before, because it was a perfect circle radius for example. Is there a workaround or hidden feature I don't know? Thanks and all the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is what you want to do but choose the Node tool and just push that one section once the ~ thing appears under the tool.

G13RL Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 If you hold down the right mouse button and left-click the node, the missing handle will appear. You can make a copy of the object before operating and then find the exact curve on the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HugoEgon Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 @Arceom That is it! Additionally the mode needs to be set to "pen mode", which I hadn't, it was on smart. Thanks so much guys! That will make Affinity Designer even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
