Staff MEB Posted June 28, 2017 Staff Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hi Bert, This was vastly improved since 2014. With the Node Tool selected, ⌃(ctrl) + drag moves the node while keeping its control handles positions intact. It's not intended to extend/create control handles from a node. You can do that with the Pen Tool itself, no need to change to the Node Tool: place the Pen Tool's cursor over a node and drag to convert it to a smooth node (extending its control handles). If you need to get rid of one of the control handles, press and hold the ⌥ (option/alt) key and click on the control handle you want to remove.

rdegani Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Hey there! Have started using Affinity Designer for a few personal projects, and although it's a great tool, sometimes it has some behaviours I don't quite understand... For instance, I'm trying to use the node tool to marquee select a few nodes across different objects and I just figured out that whenever I have a straight line that just won't work (see screenshot). Is that behaviour intentional, or is it a bug? Thank you! Rodrigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 15, 2017 Staff Share Posted October 15, 2017 Hi rdegani, Welcome to Affinity Forums This is a known issue/bug that's already logged to be looked at. If you shift-click each node you should be able to select them all (rather than drawing a marquee selection around them). I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

rdegani Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Hi MEB, Thanks for the reply, good to know! I was wondering if there could be a reason behind this behaviour, but if it's a known bug it's all right... Sometimes when you have multiple points close to each other it's hard to shift-click each one, that's why I needed the marquee to work. I've worked around it by adding middle points to the lines on less crowded areas and shifting them slightly so I was able to marquee-select the end points and move them where I wanted. Then I deleted the middle points. Not super easy, but it worked for what I needed! Obrigado! Rodrigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
