Mainecoon364 Posted June 18, 2023 Posted June 18, 2023 I can’t continue tracing where I left. (The node tool is selected.) Yellow line is tracing line. Why? How can I fix It? Quote

Are you trying to adjust an existing trace outline? If you use the Pencil Tool with ‘Sculpt’ mode enabled, you can continue from where you left off.

NotMyFault Posted June 18, 2023 Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Well, you can actually do trace with node tool, but only using a trick: you can only add nodes on the curvature between two existing nodes. So create one node far away (using pen tool), then you can (switch to node tool and) add more nodes, and move them into correct position. I use this method often, starting with a rough outline, and then adding nodes for smaller details. And set fill opacity to 50% to see both background and curve on top.
