Node Tool Not Adding Points, Latest Update to Affinity Designer

[David Williams83]

I finally broke down and updated Affinity Designer to the latest release and what I feared the most happened. The functionality of the node tool has gone out of the window. I can no longer add anchor points along a path with the node tool.

As an example, I draw a lot of text and then bring those sketches into Designer. I select a basic shape like a box and work around my sketch adding points and manipulating handles along the way. Now when I choose the simple shape to work with, convert to curves and try to add anchor points with the node tool all I can do is manipulate the path between two existing points. New anchor points cannot be added, period.

I am extremely frustrated, is there a way I can go back to the previous iteration of Affinity Designer where the node tool worked well? This is a make or break function for me as a users. That tool worked perfectly in previous versions of the software.

Thanks,

Dave

As far as I understand the process you are following, the Node Tool should work pretty much the same as it did in previous versions (at least as far back as 1.6.5).
Can you give us some visual idea of the problem, either screenshots or a video?
It’s difficult to diagnose a problem like this without being able to see it.
Show us what you have, tell us what you want to get, tell us exactly what you are doing, and show us what you get which is different to that which you expected.
