jesele Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hi, add nodes at intersections would be extremely useful when joining together objects. Jesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 26, 2014 Staff Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hi jesele, Welcome to Affinity Forums. Adding nodes to intersections may not always be desirable. What you are looking for is called snapping. It picks notable geometry points from shapes (end points, mid points, tangents, intersections etc) and let you snap other objects or nodes to them. You can access it in the top toolbar (third icon group counting from right). Note this feature is still being worked on and not all snapping options are available at this point. Currently is not possible to snap to intersections. But you should see some more improvements soon.

jesele Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hi, no I don't mean automatically but sometimes this function would save a lot of time. Tried all snapping options already and at least not yet found anything that helps. But of course snap at intersection would help a lot. I know that booleans sometimes helps but not always.

Staff Ben Posted October 27, 2014 Staff Share Posted October 27, 2014 It was working pre-beta before the snapping overhaul, it just wasn't good enough yet, so was removed from the Beta.
