tiggyboo Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I used the pen tools to draw a shape, with probably too many points. But I was assuming "Smooth Curve" would remove the jagged nature of all those points for my selection, but I don't see it doing anything - so I guess I'm using it inappropriately. Can you explain what the Smooth Curve action does and when/how it's appropriate to use! Thanks a bunch, Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 11, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hi tiggyboo, Welcome to Affinity Forums, The Smooth Curve button isn't intended to remove nodes to make the path smoother and simple as in other software. Affinity doesn't offer that feature yet. It's goal is to slightly refine the line (both adding or removing nodes) to make it look more pleasing and fluid (at a small scale), without affecting the overall shape of the path too much.

Arctic Gorilla Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hey tiggyboo, Do you know that while you have the node tool selected you can clock on a node and press delete to remove that node?
