Transform (flip & rotate) can't be used when node tool is selected


Recommended Posts

Is there any good reason for this? I really find it uncomfortable for my workflow. Before one could use the transform optios no matter if one was using the node or the move tool. Now one has to switch to the move tool when trying to use transform when the node tool is the one active. Is there any conflict in having it ON also for the node tool? Thanks!

In 1.7 Rotation / Flipping icons become disabled with…

  • Node Tool
  • Corner Tool
  • Point Transform Tool
  • Pen
  • Pencil
  • Vector Brush
  • Eyedropper

But remains available with…

  • Fill Tool
  • Transparency Tool
  • Shape Tools
  • Text Tools
  • Vector Crop Tool
  • Artboard Tool

 

In 1.6.5 Rotation / Flipping is available with every tool.

As you say, seems like disruptive to workflow, so hope it is a bug / oversight.

Oh.. all of those?? So far I had just seen it was disabled with the node tool... It's really not something I see why it should be as is now in the beta... I really hope they put it back to how it was if possible, as I flip and rotate a lot and this means extra clicking.

The Node tool now has its own application of transforms that work on just the selected curve handles.  This also goes for the Pen, Pencil, Vector brush tools which are based on the Node tool.

Make a handle selection, and things should become enabled.

 

The Point Transform Tool should still be offering normal transforms though - that is a bug.

Actually - there was still a bug here.  I've added the fix to enable the Flip/Rotate buttons for Node tool.  Note, however, that these functions operate on nodes only in the Node tool - not on the whole object.

It sounds as though you need to review your Notification Settings
