Kobold Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Sometimes I need to rework a shape, and instead of a smooth curve I need a curve on the one side, but a straight line on the other side of the node. So usually you would just delete or reset the one bezier handle, and you‘re done. But I can not find a way to do that. Is an option to do so available and I missed it, or what‘s the deal or workaround? Thanks! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted September 25, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 25, 2018 Once you have removed the node change the nodes on each side on the line you wish to be straight to sharp and this will make the line straight while still keeping the other side a curve as shown in the video below straight line node.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Thanks DWright, ...... but now I can not drag a single bezier handle from these two edge nodes to modify the curve, and that is the point. Sometimes that one node on the right side of your video, is not enough to create the right curve, and there is need of fine adjusting that curve by using handles from the other two nodes.

Kobold Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Here´s a movie using Designer desktop version on mac, making an alt click deletes the handle: nodes_01.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted September 25, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 25, 2018 To do this select the node and change it to smooth and you can then adjust the curve as shown in the video below curve.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 But how to do that, if you got an already existing shape, as here my screenshot, and now you find out the need to delete handles, as I can do with designer desktop with the alt click? Is there an option for that? Imagine a much more complex shape, that you do not want to make new ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobold Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Ok, as I can see the "delete handle" option is not, or not yet available on iOS version. What you been doing here ....... I can do this too, but that is not the comfortable and precise option as it is with mac desktop version. Please add this to wanted, needed features for the future. Thanks for your help.

tak0 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Are there any changes to the app? Or it is still not reachable on Ipad to delete handle on one side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
