kjs Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 How do you edit a node so that it has a control handle on one side but not the other. I see that you can create this effect if you do it as you draw with the pen tool. Because you can double tap the node to delete the last control handle. But how do you edit for this effect after the path is already drawn out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might need to drag on the line slightly to get the handle on the curved side to appear. kjs 1 Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

Staff MEB Posted October 13, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hi kjs,Do the following: - with the node selected, tap/hold two fingers somewhere on the canvas with the left hand - start dragging the handle on the side you want with a finger (right hand) - at this point it only moves in the current handles direction (don't release the right finger yet) - release one of the fingers of the left hand (so only one remain touching the screen) You should now be able to drag the handle (right hand finger) in any direction independent from the handle on the other side. [EDIT] Please see reply above. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @kjs is asking how to delete the handle rather than just moving it. I know we can do this in the desktop apps by Alt-clicking on the handle, but I can’t find the equivalent gesture in the iPad apps.
