VectorCat Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Could there be an option to hide control handles and the bounding box of a selected object? the benefit would be while adjusting color, shading, etcs..some times it's hard to see what's going on with the handles and bounding boxes visible.. sometimes you just don't want to see it, sometimes they actually obscure the object being worked on. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyb Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Holding down Space Bar does it temporarily, but a View > Hide Selection Edges command would be welcomed. mcpete, VectorCat, sowenjub and 1 other 4 Quote 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Ventura 13.6 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make it easier to line up objects with guides and construction lines. Currently they disappear when moved. Signguy 1 Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

pbass Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Was really struggling with this issue today – nodes & handles & other tool's nerdy stuff obscuring the movements I was trying to make. I would love it if, once you've grabbed something, and are commencing manipulating it, the Spacebar makes the nodes and handles & stuff momentarily disappear from view. But imho something similar to Illy's 'Hide Edges' [Ctrl-H, Com-H] is _really_ needful. Please consider this ASAP, devs. - pbass fuli42 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMac Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Yes I would love a view option to show/hide the blue bounding box. Just in the same manner you have recently implemented for pixel selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackamus Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Show/Hide is academic when moving an object - there is no choice, the handles disappear. As I said in my earlier posting above having the handles disappear when moving an object makes it difficult to line-up the object with guides etc. Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

Staff MEB Posted November 2, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hi DavidMac, Although not a substitute, you can press Space to hide the bounding box temporarily (while pressing).

ronnyb Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 There's also the button on the Context toolbar to hide or show bounding boxes when moving the object... mcpete 1 Quote 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Ventura 13.6 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirkea Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 +1 for having this ideally as a passive feature Let me use this example which illustrates the problem quite well: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/dapxqwlf118c13g/shot_161128_125140.jpg - I have a rectangle with a stroke color - I want to drag on the color wheel until I;m happy - as it stands now I can NOT see the border color which is frustrating - and holding space is not exactly a good solution: I want to drag until I find a color I'm happy with, right now I need to; drag, see if it's good, drag, see if it's good, repeat until happy with result The way I see this feature implemented is that once an object is selected, changing its properties should hide its bounding box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
