Aleksandr Novakov Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 In the previous versions of Designer it was possible to add nodes on curves on the fly while drawing with the pen tool, by pressing ctrl and hence temporarly converting the pen tool to the nodes tool. Currently (1.9) pressing ctrl while drawing curves with the pen tool temporarly activates the nodes tool but with the function to delete portions (small X icon close to the cursor), even if in the bottom bar it says that clicking one should be able to add nodes. Please go back to the previous behaviour, thanks. affinityfan 1 Quote
Staff Sean P Posted February 16, 2021 Staff Posted February 16, 2021 Hi Aleksandr Novakov, This is something we're aware of and is with development to be fixed. Unfortunately its a side effect if introducing the ability to delete curve segments by holding down Ctrl whilst in the Node Tool. On Windows this conflicts with the key to temporarily switch to the Node Tool whilst in the Pen Tool. affinityfan 1 Quote
Aleksandr Novakov Posted February 28, 2021 Author Posted February 28, 2021 You're probably aware of it, but even after the latest update (1.9.1.979) this is still an issue. Sorry for bothering. 😓 Just to remind. Quote

Sorry for bothering. 😓 Just to remind. +1. I've spend quite some time today trying to get Ctrl to access the node tool from the pen tool without success. I guess I should have searched the bugs forum earlier. Note the issue applies to both Designer and Publisher 19.1.979 Aleksandr Novakov 1 Quote Intel i7-10700 Gen10 CPU, 32GB RAM, Geforce GTX 1660 OC 6GB Windows 10 Pro 22H2, 1x 1TB M.2 NVMe, 1 x 2TB M.2 NVMe.

Aleksandr Novakov Posted September 17, 2021 Author Posted September 17, 2021 Hey!! Anyone hearing? This is still an issue on Windows after a lot of updates already. A simple option would be to assign [ctrl+shift+click on a curve] either for deleting it or to add a node on it and leave [ctrl+click on a curve] for the other operation. Come on, I don't think it's so difficult to get such a behaviour. Please! nodeus and jacek007g 2 Quote
jacek007g Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 For me, possibility to make everything with one tool was the main factor to choose Designer. Is there any news about fixing this issue? Quote
