randomvectorstudio Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Help! I am facing some issues which I think could be related to this new feature. I am using pen tool to create a line. I usually set the origin point to specific points on the line to do transformations. In the new version the moment I transform the line the origin point seems to move to a completely random point...

randomvectorstudio Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 On top of this I am not able to move the origin point manually once it has moved to a random location! Is there anyway I can revert back and use the older version of the software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Which Affinity application and OS are you using? We cannot tell (and it may be relevant) because you didn't record the entire application window.

Staff MEB Posted March 1 Staff Share Posted March 1 Hi @randomvectorstudio, Welcome to Affinity Forums I've reproduced this here and I'm investigating the issue. Where did you bought the app originally? Affinity Store or Apple/Microsoft Store (depending on your OS)? (to let you know if you can revert back to a previous version).

Staff MEB Posted March 1 Staff Share Posted March 1 Thanks for your report @randomvectorstudio. This is indeed buggy both on macOS/iOS and Windows. I'm logging the issue to be looked at. loukash 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you create a line not using a Pen Tool, but first create a rectangle with the Rectangle Tool, then convert it to a curve and delete 2 extra points, then everything works like a charm and the origin point does not jump. loukash and Alfred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it seems to affect only straight open curves. As soon as the line has been curved, the origin appears at the correct location; but straighten it again, and the origin will also be off again.

firstdefence Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Something else that happens is the alignment handles appear to distort, I've never noticed them doing this before, it's like they become isometric.

Thanks! At the moment I have just reverted back to the older version 🙂 But your workaround is also great and probably shows that the bug has to do with how lines are handled in the new feature. Hope this gets fixed soon 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
