Shape key point


Recommended Posts

What is a shape key point. There is a snapping option to snap to shape key point but setting it doesn’t seem to do anything and I can’t find key point explained anywhere in the help. Still learning the software. Thanks.

Good question, @Jmack.

I have always assumed it was, e.g., the red dots that let you control the basic geometry of the shapes. For example, as shown in this dekstop Help article:
https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/Tools/tools_trapezoid.html

I think it's similar on the iPad.

It seems to refer to points related to those dots, rather than the dots themselves:

I never have figured this out. I’ve tried everything I can and nothing seems to want to be a key point. 

According to help file 'key points' on a curve show as yellow when snapping. You can see the yellow line in the attached screen recording (also the green line for comparison).

what is a key point, still don’t know ☹️
