Eagle Works Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I'm a fairly new user, but getting the hang of AD. I used to use Macromedia Freehand and then Inkscape. Things I miss ... Of course the trace. I found a standalone trace program, Potrace. Then find out that is what Inkscape uses! I am learning to use the pen more. It is getting easier to draw things. I miss Simplify. I have found that the fewer nodes are better to create graceful curves. At least in my experience. Performing Smooth curves in AD just adds more nodes. I end up removing a lot of nodes. I am looking for tips, ideas, tutorials, etc., to do the final smoothing out of curves. One can spend a lot of time twiddling with nodes and handles trying to get it right. I converted most nodes to Smart, but I still need to work with the curve. I wish there was a command to make both handles line up equally on the curve. Maybe there is and I just don't get it. Anyway, tell me what works for you and thanks for listening ... Bob Windows 10 Quote Bob Windows 10 Affinity Designer: 1.8.5.703 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
