Laganama Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hi, among type designers (but not only) is a common method to build smooth curves using this method: https://learn.scannerlicker.net/2014/09/16/bezier-curve-quick-tips-two-methods-for-smooth-curves/ The key point is to set the handle length to such position, where the imaginary connection betwen two handles is parallel to the connection of two nodes in question. It would be great to add this geometry among other construction snappings.

FontLab has something called Tunni Lines which make this imaginary connection real. Makes it easy to manipulate both handles at once.

The feature to maintaint the handle direction while free transform of the line segment is also well known for Illustrator and I would appreciate this in AfD too.
