makersart Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hi there. Is it possible to select a series of nodes (from multiple objects) using a window selection (using the node selection tool, not the move tool), in order to grab hold of some of the nodes on the objects and move them, but not all of the nodes? That is, not moving using the move tool which simply stretches all the objects, but being able to select a portion of nodes, and move those. I know it will work with one object if you select the object first with the node tool and then drag a selection, but it will not work with multiple objects, and also will not work with a line of only two nodes. If this isn't available it seems insane that this isn't a feature. Apologies if it is, I'm new to the program but I could find nothing in any forum about it. This is a feature built into the white selection arrow within Adobe illustrator and I use it all the time. I can't imagine every Affinity user is selecting each node one at a time to move them, that seems absolutely crazy to me! See picture - in my example, I am trying to select all the nodes within in green box in order to move this portion of my dimension. (As a side note the ability to add arrow heads to lines would be great! instead of having to draw triangles). Aside from these things, I'm very happy with both Photo and Designer. Please help!

makersart Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 OK, update on this, most of my issue has to do with imported lines from an Illustrator file, which although they work mostly, don't seem to perform exactly as lines created in Affinity - which is fair enough. Selection of nodes requires first using the selection tool to select objects, and then selecting the node tool and dragging a window around desired nods. This is a little cumbersome, I would suggest being able to directly window select with the node tool. Glad to see arrow ends are included in the roadmap.
