Angelos58 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I can snap a node to an intersection point, but I can’t snap the geometric center to an intersection point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I believe this is one of the new snapping options in version 1.7 of the desktop app, so I expect it to be included when the iPad app is updated to version 1.7.

Staff Dan C Posted May 1, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hi Angelos58 Could you please provide an example (a screen recording would be perfect) of the snapping you're trying to achieve? I can check this in the 1.7 beta for you!

Staff Dan C Posted May 1, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 1, 2019 No problem, unfortunately this isn't possible in the beta of Affinity Designer either, so I'll move this thread to Feature Requests now for our devs to see and consider!

Aammppaa Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 @Dan C It is possible in 1.7 Beta, by using the Point Transform tool.

Staff Dan C Posted May 1, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 1, 2019 Thanks @Aammppaa, I completely overlooked the Point Transform tool! I'm certain we'll be bringing the desktop 1.7 changes to iPad, so I hope to see this included in the next update @Angelos58 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Aammppaa Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Point transform allows for any combination of move (translate), rotate and scale, around one point, to a destination point. Both source point and destination point can use any of Affinity's snapping options (grid, guides, geometry etc). It is very versatile. In my GIF… The source point is the center of the yellow circle (but it could also be any of the 4 nodes that define the circle, or any other point). You can see Affinity suggesting various snapping locations as I drag, including the intersection of the diagonal line and the blue circle. Which snapping locations are considered is defined by the standard snapping options in the Snapping Panel. The best way is just to play with it for a while so see what can be achieved - but iPad users can't do that quite yet Alfred 1 Quote Win10 Home x64 | AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 3.7GHz | 48 GB RAM | 1TB SSD | nVidia GTX 1660 | Wacom Intuos Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
