nametag Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Working with the pen tool, I've noticed that there is no way to snap the bezier handles to 45° and 90° angles once the node has been placed. Normally, this would be done by holding down the shift key while moving the bezier handle. In Affinity designer, this locks the handle to the angle it was last placed at. My suggestion would be to keep the current behavior, but add an alternate keyboard shortcut that will lock the bezier handles to 45° and 90° (and possibly other) angles. Could be CMD + DRAG, CMD + SHIFT + DRAG, etc.. Thanks! gdenby and Fettiemettie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdenby Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I agree. FWIW, as I was reviewing some info on Bezier curve editing today, I noticed that one person considered Bezier exactitude a symptom of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have to admit that often seems a reasonable characterization. Altho' I would ague certain points of the description. :) Quote iMac 27" Retina, c. 2015: OS X 10.11.5: 3.3 GHz I c-5: 32 Gb, AMD Radeon R9 M290 2048 Mb iPad 12.9" Retina, iOS 10, 512 Gb, Apple pencil Huion WH1409 tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nametag Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hah, maybe so. There are definitely times when it is just easier to work with these angles instead of trying to guess, or get as close as possible. The behavior already exists when first creating nodes. I'd just like to see that behavior carried over to editing them later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo.limoncelli Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'd love to see the handles snapping to grid or guides in the future. :) Banjina and Bauke 2 Quote The white dog, making tools for artists, illustrators and doodlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fettiemettie Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 What's the poujnt of being able to zoom in almost infinitely when my angles aren't precise? Also it's just pretty inconvenient Quote my name jeff lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
