Mandu Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Yeah, today I lamost rage uninstalled AD because at first I couldn't figure out how to select multiple nodes from multiple aligned objects. In Illustrator it is really simple, you activate direct selection tool and drag select all nodes you want (marquee feature) in the straight line. In AD first I had to go to preferences and enable 'select objects when intersect with selection marquee', then with move tool I need to click and drag to select objects I want, convert objects to curves and then with node tool I can finally(!) drag and select nodes I want to move. WOW! Feature request: Node tool should have the marquee feature enabled right away without the need to previously select objects. Also, why is there a need to convert to curves? P.S. It seems that "common sence" logic works differently for different people depending on their background. Whenever there is an issue, I have to google the solution. Why not just make a small popup at the tool location that notifies the user that square needs to be converted to curve in order to use node tool on the boject. Instead I have to search the forums and create new topic about it. Thank you for reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeffdaley Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Even after reading this I still have no idea how to marquee-select nodes. What on earth am I doing wrong? WATCH: Untitled.mov Steps: 1. Use the pen tool to draw a line. 2. With the line selected, use the node tool to drag-select nodes. Nothing happens for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear the bug is being worked on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monipom Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 What's the ETA on the bug fix? I would have expected it to be fixed with the latest upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
