Converting text to curves, auto selects the node tool


Recommended Posts

I looked all the forums to see if this has been suggested yet, but having Affinity Designer "automatically" selecting the node tool whenever I convert text to curves, is really annoying. Especially since I have to switch to the selection tool in order to use the convert feature. Can this at least be an option I can turn off?

Can't reproduce that for ADe v1 (aka that after performing some text -> convert to curves conversion, that the Node tool is then autoselected) ...

But v2 help tells so ...

Move Tool Node Tool To convert a shape to curves:

  1. Select the shape with either the Move or the Node Tool.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Click Convert to Curves on the context toolbar.
    • From the Layer menu, select Convert to Curves.

The shape is now made from curves and the Node Tool is automatically selected. Segments and nodes can be modified with the Node Tool.

 

Though one can in such situations press V once, in order to quickly switch back to the Move tool then.
