Prioritized node alignment (Tip)

Hi Peexel,

Welcome to the forums...

You can already achieve the first option by using the Align to Nodes of Selected Curves option in the context toolbar, is this the sort of thing you had in mind...

With regards your second suggestion, perhaps something like this...

Thanks for the reply guys, but the classic alignment method has constraints, I limited myself to illustrating a solution but I didn't specify what advantages my method brought.  align the nodes one by one by hand (thanks to the automatic snapping it would be too long a procedure in some cases.) Aligning the nodes with the tool (Alignment) has 2 constraints the first moves the original position of the nodes to align them the second aligns in based on the outermost node (you can't choose which node they should align to) There are also 2 other methods of aligning nodes, in the section (transform at the top of the bar) but even that method however effective limits the alignment as described above.  A last method to even align can be obtained in the transform area, using the degree rotation if we want to align only 2 nodes.  But all of these methods either displace the node from its original position or force you to align it with nodes that are more protruding than one another.  My method however is different you can decide to which node you want to align all the others without the reference node moving from its position, simply by aligning them all to its position, or in the Y or X axis.

Dragging a simple guide is likely faster than copying and pasting Transform panel values:

Another method, similar to your idea:

Thanks a lot Loukash your last example is exactly the procedure I would like to do, it's a good solution, let's say not very intuitive but once discovered the results are exactly the same.

Perhaps with a simple (Alt or Ctrl) hold when applying the value, all other procedures can be bypassed.

But the fact that this alternative exists is a great thing!!!!👍👍👍👍

I was unnecessarily complicating my life, To align the nodes is even easier than I thought. (copying the numeric value makes no sense "I thought there wasn't a system to tell Designer where on the screen to start aligning the nodes by taking the coordinates of the node involved in my case, but it's a totally wrong or inconvenient procedure for a simple alignment procedure as I wanted to apply it")

Just select all the nodes, and use one of the two alignment modes.

example:

On a straight line there are 10 nodes (these nodes are not aligned with each other, one more up one further down) so to align them, for example to the first node on the left, it was enough to select all the nodes and from the toolbar choose option " Align Top" and they will all align according to the left node.
 
If instead we want to give priority to the node on the right, it was enough to use the "Align bottom" function

simple and direct

Thanks guys for the great advice you've given me.
