PitterPen Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Hi, In Affinity Designer 2 on an iPad, how do I move multiple line nodes together as one? If I use the Node tool to click on a single node, I can drag it and the line around it reshapes. I want to do that same thing, but instead of selecting 1 node, I want to select many nodes and move them together. For example, say I have a line with 90 nodes that was drawn with the Pencil tool. I use the Node tool to lasso select 10 nodes next to each other. I then want to drag those 10 nodes away from the the rest of the line (while maintaining the shape of the selected nodes, and the nodes at the edges of the selection will of course stretch). However, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. If I switch to the Move tool, the application instantly undoes my 10 node partial selection and instead selects the whole object on that layer. Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 You only need the node tool, and possibly the controller to activate a modifier key. Do not switch to other tools. Select multiple nodes by drawing a rectangle, or using the shift modifier key and selecting one node after the other to be added. Then, use the pen or finger to touch and hold one of the selected nodes, and drag them into their new position. Finally, lift the pen or finger to release the nodes.
