rfed10 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Hello! I would like to know if anyone knows how to automatically adjust the vertices and/or lines since I have tried activating all the options but still not. Thank you very much in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Can you give some more detail about what you mean by “automatically adjust”? If you can give one or more visual examples of what you have before the adjustment and what you want after the adjustment then that might help. Also, what should be doing the adjustment “automatically” and when should it be doing it? I have a feeling that you are asking about snapping, given your screen-grab, but I could be wrong, so a little clarification would be useful.

Sorry, my English is not very good and maybe I didn't explain myself well. I mean that when it comes to bringing the vertices closer together, they do not join together magnetically. Here I show you an example of what I want to achieve (it's Illustrator). Sin título-1_ @ 800 % (CMYK_Contorno de CPU) 2023-10-18 22-40-06.mp4 Now on Affinity. As you can see, the corners (vertices) do not meet. What is the option for them to get together? I have tried everything but it is impossible Thanks in advance.

NotMyFault Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Hi, to join nodes, you need to use the node tool instead of the move tool. The move tool allows to snap certain key points, mostly the bounding box around that shape. The node tool requires curves (not shapes, these need to be converted to curves before). You can snap curve nodes.

v_kyr Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 There is a difference between joining, aka gluing permanantly together, Nodes (as NotMyFault told above) and just snapping (overlaying one above the other) nodes together here. For the later (snapping) that often works halfway good with a defined and used grid and then using "Snap to grid" & "Snap to baseline grid". - For really joining nodes together see NotMyFault's reply.

(As with all tools, look at the hint line at bottom of window for keyboard modifiers.) The video below shows a shape being snapped to another shape, but it also works with Curve and Curves objects.
