evtonic3 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 How can I joing these two separate paths at the nodes to make it one path? I am trying all I know with no luck. KozelhViaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 23, 2015 Staff Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hi evtonic3, Select both paths, change to the Node Tool, enable Snap to selected Curves in the Snap section on the context toolbar, then drag one node over the other until you see a yellow square (or circle - this means it snapped to the other node). Finally click Join Curves from the Action section (context toolbar). Another way, if you want a line connecting them: select both shapes, change to the Node Tool and click Join Curves in the action section on the context toolbar.

retrograde Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hi MEB, I just did the second option from your answer above, it works but it's random or based on curve direction as to which two ends join. I think a better way would be to select the two nodes you want to join, enact "join curves" (or a keyboard equivalent) and get the span between the two you selected. This would be the expected behaviour, no? Having close curve and join curve to me should be consolidated into a simpler process... join curve should work to also close a curve. Plus on a similar note. Cutting a line currently seems to be a many step process (add a node, select the node, click break curve, delete the two nodes that are created on top of each other) not ideal workflow... are we any closer to a cut tool or a simpler process for this?

Staff MEB Posted November 12, 2015 Staff Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hi retrograde, In the second option when you select the nodes and click Join Curves, Affinity will add a line between the closest nodes. We are aware this is not the expected behaviour and i know Matt wants to improve this later to work similarly to what you described. The Knife Tool should address this when implemented, meanwhile what i do is to set a custom shortcut to Break Curve and Join Curve. You can access them in Preferences ▸ Shortcuts section then select the Node Tool from the second dropdown.

retrograde Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks MEB, good to hear the knife tool is in the works still... and I'll definitely look into the shortcut scenario for that as well. :-) Cheers!
