Fritz_H Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I have seen that 1.9 allows to draw an elliptical selection from center. ok. Why just the elliptical selection tool? Why still no option to draw shapes from center? Why still no option to crop from center? --> Why do both modifiers, CTRL and ALT-GR, switch to the straighten tool?

Staff Dan C Posted February 19, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 19, 2021 Hi @Fritz_H, Apologies for the delayed response here!

I'm not sure if there was a reason this option was only added for elliptical and not for rectangular selections or if this was simply an oversight. I'll log this with the devs now to see if this can be added On 2/7/2021 at 11:40 AM, Fritz_H said: Why still no option to draw shapes from center? My apologies, which shapes are you referring to here? As I understand it, our Quick Shapes support drawing from centre when using the CTRL/Command modifier key.

Unfortunately there are many features that customers are still waiting to be added into the apps in a future update, including this one. This is logged as an improvement with our devs and I will 'bump' this log now for you.

As far as I'm aware, only the CTRL key should activate the straighten tool, so I suspect this is a bug with ALT-GR and I will log this as such now.

This may be explained by the fact that AltGr is the same as Ctrl+Alt.
