matisso Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hey everyone, I cringe a little at the default (and sadly the only available, for now) node tool action. When a segment is dragged, its adjacent nodes change directions, just like it works in Inkscape (last time I checked, at least). This is a real deal breaker when it comes to more precise jobs like logo design, modifying letterforms (not to mention creating them from scratch, although I know there are dedicated tools out there for that) etc. In Illustrator, this the the only mode of editing, in Photoshop there is a choice between a «legacy mode» as they called, which functions the old way (preferred in my case), and the default mode (like AD works). Such a choice would be ideal, wouldn't it? :) This is what I mean in case my description wasn't clear enough (left, AD, right, AI). best regards, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matisso Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 @dutchshader, not quite. Unfortunately, dragging with Alt also changes the adjacent nodes to sharp ones. As stated in the help file: • The Alt key changes the node type to a sharp node to create a cusp in the line. The feature I describe shouldn't break the curve continuity. If the nodes are smooth, they should remain so. regards, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matisso Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 I see there's already such a request here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
