Staff MEB Posted November 24, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi Jimmini, Yes, press ⇧ (shift) while dragging the node. If you have the Pen Tool selected, press Ctrl (to switch temporarily to the Node Tool) and ⇧ (shift) simultaneously.

If you have the Pen Tool selected, press Ctrl (to switch temporarily to the Node Tool) and ⇧ (shift) simultaneously. I'm sorry, I can't get this to work. I turned on all possible snap options. In case you misunderstood, I don't mean snapping the node's handle, but an actual node along another node's handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 24, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi Jimmini, Sorry, i did misunderstand your question. If you press ⌃(ctrl) you can move the node without moving the handles, however as far as i know there's no way to keep/constraint the movement to the direction of the handles.

Staff Ben Posted December 20, 2017 Staff Share Posted December 20, 2017 Make that 1.7. 1.7 already includes a lot of changes to Pen and Node tools.
