Hand tool not effective while editing node


Recommended Posts

A little comment here on the node manipulation.

When creating a curve the current node can be repositioned during its construction by pressing the spacebar (a great carryover from illustrator; thanks !), now the same is no longer true if we go in with the node tool after the fact and select a node; while adjusting its handlebars we no longer are able to press space and move it as well.

Hi @Cobalt,

I am a little confused by your description :$

Here's how it works for me: pressing the spacebar always switches to the 'View Tool' (I like to call it 'Hand Tool') and I can move around the whole document on the screen.
To reposition a node or a node handle while in the 'Pen Tool' you have to press CTRL which switches temporarily to the 'Node Tool'.

Cheers,

Not quite on the same page yet :)

Start the pen tool, make a new point and drag a handle. While dragging that one handle press space to reposition the point itself. (this behavior is fine). The issue comes after the fact, once you finished a curve and you re-activate a node and try to adjust its handle. This time pressing space while adjusting a handle no longer moves the corresponding node, but it should.

Hello @Cobalt,

thanks for the detailed description. I can replicate this.

However, I am not sure if this is a bug or feature. To me it seems more than an inconsisteny ;)

Let's see what the developers say.
