Leijoona Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Hi, Is there a way to snap handles in Affinity Designer? I can snap nodes and objects just fine, but when dragging a curve handle, I can't seem to find a way to snap the handle. Thanks, Joona JPG8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 10, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 10, 2016 Hi Joona. Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Currently it's not possible to snap node's handles. This was already requested quite a few times and it's being considered for a future update/version.

Turtle_Island Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hi, As you say, "snap node's handles" has been requested many times, I can see requests for it dating back to 2014. This is essential for creating accurate geometric shapes. Why the long delay? Will it ever be a feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 21, 2018 Staff Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hi Turtle_Island, Welcome to Affinity Forums There will be improvements here in v1.7. You will be able to snap nodes to the grid. Is that what you are referring/want? Turtle_Island 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle_Island Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Thank you!! Great news. Do you have an ETA for v1.7 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 21, 2018 Staff Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hi Turtle_Island, No, sorry. It will be available as a Customer Beta as soon as it's ready for testing but i have no idea when.

G7495x Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 So snapping handles will be available? If so, when?? Also, would it be possible to change the curve handle position via the transform panel...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chegr Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 It's June 2020, and handles still don't snap to grid. Sad Any news on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 2, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hi chegr, Welcome to Affinity Forums In the Pen and Node Tools, go to the context toolbar and enable Align handle positions using snapping options. In the Snapping Manager (menu View > Snapping Manager...) you must have Snap to grid ticked for the handle alignment work.

ziplock9000 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 So this was never actually properly implemented after 8 years?. If you hold ALT while moving a node (which you have to to move one side independently of the other), the snapping doesn't work. It only works if you move both nodes.
