sophiajcaldwell Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 If I have a point on a path that does not have any control handles, how do I pull out new ones? Sometimes selecting the point and selecting ‘Smooth’ in the contextual menu in node editing mode works and new handles appear, but sometimes they don’t. I have to add a new point on the path, then delete the point with no handles and then move the new point into the deleted point’s position ... not ideal!

gdenby Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 If you have drawn a vector by tapping points on the screen, the node will be sharp. Control handles in that case are set to 0. If you select any or all of the nodes w. the node tool, and change them to smooth nodes, handles should appear. If you want to keep the nodes sharp, with the node tool, push the line, and you will see handles appear between the adjacent sharp nodes.

sophiajcaldwell Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Aha, pushing the line with the node tool perfectly fixed my issue. Many many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
