Dylan SJ Perez Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hi guys, so I'm still relatively new to Designer and I've been having a bit of trouble lately, I'm creating a logo and I need to snap some shapes around, I'm trying to get this triangle to snap to the long part of the other one but it won't capture it as a snapping point, could anyone help out? I'll attach a screenshot Thanks Quote Dylan SJ Perez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchshader Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 the only way i could make it snap is to convert the smaller triangle to curves, select all 3 nodes an drag on the larger triangle Dylan SJ Perez 1 Quote intel core i5, 16GB 128Gb ssd win10 Pro Huion new 1060plus. philips 272p 2560x1440px on intel HD2500 onboard graphics Razer Tartarus Chroma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 In this case, if the small triangle is just a reduced-size version of the large one, you can try this little "trick": * Drag the ST (smaller triangle) so that its bottom corner snaps to the bottom corner of the LT (larger triangle); * Hold down SHIFT and drag the top corner of the ST that lies on the hypotenuse of the LT up to the position you want it; * Keeping SHIFT held down, drag the bottom corner of the ST along the hypotenuse until it's where you want it. The attached video might make it clearer. Does this help? Dylan SJ Perez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 If you click the button to Show Rotation Centre You can move the Rotation Centre of the small triangle and it will snap to the hypotenuse of the larger triangle Make a note of the X & Y values in the Transform panel Reset the Rotation Centre back to it's default setting Then change the X & Y values of the small triangle to those noted earlier (It would be nice to be able to "automatically" move an object to the new Rotation Centre after you have moved it's centre but I cant see a way to do that - anyone?)

GarryP Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Some quick notes on rotation: * You can reset the Rotation Centre of an object by double-clicking the rotation centre marker. * You can reset the Rotation of an object by double-clicking any corner handle when the cursor changes to the rotation cursor. * There's a "Reset Rotation" menu item in the contextual menu but that relates to the Artboard and not the item that was right-clicked (that can be a little confusing at first).
