Cealcrest Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Sometimes when adjusting vector curves a few of the nodes only have one handle when selected. (Not talking about the handles on adjacent nodes.) My guess is because these are "sharp" nodes. Is there a way to drag out the second handle without hitting the node mode buttons for smooth/smart? That's the only solution I know of, but it often changes the curve a great deal, too.

Alfred Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 If you can only see one handle, the second handle must be coincident with (i.e. zero distance from) the node. Alt-drag on the curve (not on the node!) to make the second handle appear without affecting the handle on the other side of the node.

Either I have misunderstood what you mean by "the other side of the node" or this does not work for me. When I alt-drag on the curve, the node adjacent to the one I want to drag a handle out of changes to a sharp node: Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve misunderstood what I mean! In your example, the selected node initially has only one handle visible. Alt-dragging where indicated makes the second handle appear, without affecting the position of the first handle (so the curve on that side of the selected node remains unchanged).
