Snap

[Darner]

Hi
Congrats on v2. Unfortunately still some issue with snapping, when a bit skewed shapes. See video.
Even though there can be workarounds, hope this specific is something you have a fix on.

I think this behavior is likely meant to be "by design".
Those parallelograms will snap, but not to the skewed "Base Box", they snap to the "Regular bounds" box. See the Cycle Selection Box button in the context toolbar.

To snap to corners, you can:

• duplicate, convert to curves, Node tool, select all nodes, snap
• duplicate, flip horizontal, drag down to snap, change skew in Transform panel to negative value
• align them unskewed first, then skew the top one from top, and the bottom one from bottom
• … and likely some more

Hi @Darner,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Here's a quick way to align objects without conversions:

Alignment handles!
I've been using them already, but I didn't think of this yet.
Everyday I learn something new here.

Hi. Thanks for reply.
Interesting technique there!
If a one time action, perhaps a good alternative.

Posted this snap request, as one technique includes multiple repetitions of same action / snap in angle.
Like multiple skewed pixels you might say. Skew all at ones after done, might be an alternative.

Alternative feature (posted earlier), would be able to use node (like also suggested from loukash).
Issue is that "power duplicate" or "option drag" for duplicate, does not apply in "node tool". Something could do in AI, and is a workflow habit as well (still adapting😇. Possible with node with cmd+j, mark all, drag and similar, but becomes very time consuming for multiple ones.😂 Hope this makes sense. Let me know if something unclear!
