SYMETICALLY drag a node's control for curves in Designer?

[Dida]

In Designer 2.0, how can I SYMETICALLY drag a node's control handles when editing curves? Unfortunately, all attempts have failed.

Welcome to the forums @Dida

If you move the mouse pointer over a node handle (not the node itself) and look at the Status Bar at the bottom of the window you should see what options you have.

For example, on Windows, I can use Drag+RightMouse to preserve handle ratios (it’s different on macOS).

Note: It’s usually good if you can tell us which OS you are using as some functionalities are different, or work differently, in the different OSes.

Many Thanks. It works like that in windows 10. It is important to press the left mouse button first and then the right mouse button.

You’re welcome.

Yes, its important, in this case, to press the left-button down first then, while keeping it pressed down, press and hold the right-mouse button, and then when you are finished, release the left-button first and then release the right-button.

It’s awkward to do, and I still haven’t got used to it, but that’s what happens when we haven’t got as many modifier keys as on macOS.

The same sort of thing can be used with other things so it’s worth keeping an eye on the Status Bar to tell you what you can do in each situation.

Yes, with left AND right mouse button at the same time it is not user friendly.
It would be better (instead of the right key) to press the "s" key on the keyboard at the same time. "s" like symmetry.

I hope for the possibility in an update.
