Chris26 Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Top right 5 little boxes, we'll leave construction snapping alone, i got lost on that one reading the help file. I am only interested n the first three. 1. I do not see a difference between the first two options: Align to selected nodes and align to geometry of selected nodes. Align to geometry and align to selected both mean the same to my Non-Technical ears. 2. The third one: snap all selected nodes when dragging I can not work out what that one means by experimentation, I am getting nowhere on this particular one . imh.mp4 Quote Microsoft - Like entering your home and opening the stainless steel kitchen door, with a Popup: 'Do you really want to open this door'?

Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed.

Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door.
Staff MEB Posted December 17, 2020 Staff Posted December 17, 2020 Hi Chris, The first one, Align to nodes of selected curves does what it says on the tin. You can align a node of a selected curve with another node of the same of other curve. Note this doesn't mean overlapping the nodes - just aligning therm. You should see horizontal and vertical guidelines appear when ou have nodes aligned. The second one, Snap to geometry of selected curves, snaps to nodes, intersections and segments (so geometry in general) of the selected curves. You should see them turning yellow when you place the node over a intersection of two selected curves, their segments or their nodes for example. The third one Snap all selected nodes when dragging will snap all nodes of a selected curve (not just the one you are dragging, but any node of the same curve), to any node, segment, intersection (geometry in general) of other selected curves. Here's a clip showing examples for all three options: node_tool_snap.mp4 Gear maker and Chris26 1 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software

Sometimes it is mentally exhausting trying to visualise the written explanations - I just digested in 1 minute what all the reading and experimenting could not do. Thankyou MEB.
