toreador Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Hello I am not able to have the same snapping functionality in V2 as I am used to from V1. I tried various settings, but it still do not work as I need it to. I am making shapes to fit my bikes when plotted out from protective film. I do this mainly by starting from an rectangle, fleshing out the form by adding points and moving these so that they fit my measurements. Now I need those points to snap on simple axis-positions that other points from the same shape are located. But V2 doesn't do it. I tried to show the problem in the following screenshot. The point on the bottom left should snap at the vertical position of the bottom right point, so on the horizontal line grey line I drew in there.

toreador Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Many thanks, that did it. Just one little icon changes so much for me. But why none of the options under the magneting snapping toggle is doing the trick is beyond me. On a sidenote I am using the german version, there it doesn't say "snap" in front of the icon, but "Ausrichten", which is not really a perfectly fitting translation. But I am really grateful for your quick and perfect solution. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is because those snapping options apply to entire objects, not the individual nodes of shape objects, but that is just a guess. toreador 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.2 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the global snapping options are for object manipulations and their tools, https://affinity.help/designer2/English.lproj/pages/DesignAids/snapping.html whereas these options are specific to curves and the Node Tool. https://affinity.help/designer2/English.lproj/pages/DesignAids/curveSnapping.html toreador 1 Quote Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.4.0.2301 Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 23H2, Build 22631.3155.
