Construction elements only temporary?

[Joachim_L]

I love all the small gizmos inside this software.

When you are working with curves you can enable Construction Edit Mode to design some helper constructions for your curves. First I was experimenting a bit with this feature, then I thought how do delete some of the construction elements? Found the explanation at the bottom accidently. Left Click and Right Click at the same feels wrong to me. Apart from the fact, that you have to push the buttons nearly at the same time. What about the good old Del-key?

But this is not the main point here. Is it intended behaviour, that the construction helpers will be deleted on saving document -> closing document -> re-opening document?

It is the current intended behaviour of the pen tool contruction objects that they do not get saved to the file. They are there to help you make real objects. This temporary nature of construction edit mode (and to what extent this Affinity Designer feature belongs in Publisher) are currently being reviewed internally.
