entropy Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Hi, Honestly I dont get it. It just need two clicks with illustrator. Select node or segment > delete. Done. I just spent 20 minutes trying to figure it out how I can do it with designer, and I still can't. Please get me out of this productivity nightmare. Even this exact simple action is absolutely not intuitive Quote

Same is in ADesigner - Node Tool (or Pen Tool with Ctrl), Select Node, Delete.

GarryP Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 As for the last issue, right-click the node, choose “Convert to Smooth”, then drag the control handles (on Windows, while dragging one control handle, hold the right-mouse-button down to drag both control handles symmetrically).

GarryP Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 For deleting a segment, with the Node Tool, mouse over a segment and use (on Windows) Ctrl+Click – you will see the mouse pointer change to include a little red cross. See attached video. 2023-01-05 12-48-40.mp4 Quote
GarryP Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Yes, hold the left-mouse-button down to drag and, while still dragging, also hold the right-mouse-button down at the same time, then release the left-mouse-button first. Quote
GarryP Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 While you are dragging with two mouse buttons down you need to release the left-hand one first, otherwise the control handles will revert to not being moved together. Quote
GarryP Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 I don’t understand what you mean by “this” or what you mean by “does nothing”. Can you give a step-by-step detailed workflow of exactly what you are doing, click-by-click, press-by-press, drag-by-drag? If I don’t know exactly what you are doing then I can’t know if you are doing something wrong or if I have not explained it well enough. Quote
GarryP Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 You need to also release the right-mouse-button after you release the left-mouse button to complete the control handle drag procedure. Quote
GarryP Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 I thought that the instructions were pretty self-explanatory (if not absolutely explicit). I said to release the left-mouse-button first which, unless there is the expectation that the user will keep the right-mouse-button pressed down indefinitely, kind of implies that they should then also release that too since there were no further instructions.

henryanthony Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 For me, in V1, it works as GarryP wrote. Release the left mouse button first. Quote Affinity Photo and Design V1. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. Dell Precision 7710 laptop. Intel Core i7. RAM 32GB. NVIDIA Quadro M4000M.
