Jens Schmidt Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I have a Curves object with multiple curves and want to select them individually, how do I do this? The Node Tool can only select node by node (or lasso/polygon) and I cant find a curve, segment or connection centered tool anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I don’t think you can select a single curve in a Curves layer without selecting the nodes of that single curve. (Clicking on a curve section with the Node Tool adds a new node to the curve.) You can use menu “Layer → Geometry → Separate Curves”, edit your single curve, and then use menu “Layer → Geometry → Merge Curves” but that’s not a great workaround. I would be happy to hear that I was wrong if someone else wants to show us how to do it though. Jens Schmidt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you GarryP, that will have to work for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 You're welcome. Hopefully somone can prove me wrong and we can both find out how to do it better. Jens Schmidt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Node Tool can only select node by node (or lasso/polygon) and I cant find a curve, segment or connection centered tool anywhere. Select one node and hit CMD A (Select dropdown > Select All). Works on multiple curves within the curves object too. G13RL, GarryP, walt.farrell and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works on multiple curves within the curves object too. Brilliant. Was struggling a bit with this today. I'm used to AI direct arrow that visually only indicates the single curve being selected. I can then delete twice to remove the node/segment followed by the remainder of curve. Designer's visual indication of the entire curve group being "active" is…less helpful.
