yendo Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 I have an open curve shape. The path tries to snap and autoclose the curve when I move the end node near the start point (red node). How can I prevent / toggle this autoclose or maybe the snapping ? Quote
Dan C Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 You can disable auto close using the auto close button on the context tool bar at the top, next to the fill option. Lee yendo 1 Quote
yendo Posted September 19, 2023 Author Posted September 19, 2023 Thanks, Lee ! I’ll give it a try. Quote
yendo Posted September 19, 2023 Author Posted September 19, 2023 I realized I have been working with auto close disabled. Snap is also disabled. But when I move the node near the end node, it snaps closed anyway, and the autoclose button toggles back to “closed” state. So frustrating ! Quote

yendo Posted September 19, 2023 Author Posted September 19, 2023 Yes. I’m a bit confounded. Thanks for your continued interest in helping me with this ! I attached a screenshot of my upper bar. Quote
yendo Posted September 19, 2023 Author Posted September 19, 2023 For some reason, no matter what I do, that end node has a “gravity” or extra preference / smaller tolerance. And it doesn’t seem to matter whether snaps are on or off. I’m still hoping this is something simple that I have missed. But it’s seriously affecting my workflow (and my patience, lol !) Quote
walt.farrell Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 I'm seeing the same behavior. All I can suggest as a workaround is to zoom in further. yendo 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

yendo Posted September 20, 2023 Author Posted September 20, 2023 Walt, zooming in does work better , though it makes it hard to see how the changes affect the composition as a whole . Anyway, your suggestion got me unstuck so I could move on. Much appreciation for your help ! I’m thinking the unwanted snap is a bug. walt.farrell 1 Quote
