Designer - construction snapping with nodes

[JariH]

Hi

I wish to have snapping option to the midpoint of curves in node tool. Snapping works with a single line segment, but not with poly lines or curves.

 

Please add a tick box ☑️ in Node Tool for turning node snapping on or off. More convenient than toggling individual snap options one by one.

That's the thing I always miss when designing logos

Did you notice this option?

Or this?

Thanks for the tip. I do use "Alt" sometimes. With more complex things, it is just much easier to work without keeping your finger on the button all the time 🙃

Unfortunately this magnet button is separate to Node Tool snapping. Seems to affect only the Transform Tool.

My guess is that what you see it  snaps to with the single line is to completely something else as I cannot make it snap to the center of the single line with the nodetool.

Darn! You may be right. Something funny. Pen Tool > When I construct a single segment line, the "Snapping" button on top menu had a bounding box option selected:    It does snap to mid point as expected.

But in the example video, the cursor is definitely Node Tool when snapping occurs. Single layer, off center (no snapping to spread mid point), no other hidden object to snap to. Today I too was unable to repeat the video above 🤪 Me very confused. But anyhow, Affinity: "Snap to curve mid-point, please?"

Thanks N.P.M. I have used the "Split curves" to add a node in the mid point. There are a lot of workarounds.
