Pencil tool behaviour

[Wildcardz]

Is there a way of configuring the pencil tool to make it work as it does in Illustrator? You know, doing a line and being able to kinda correct it when you draw on top of it or using the other tool—which I forgot the name of—that can make the path smoother?

Hi Wildcardz,

Welcome to the forums

Unfortunately there is no feature like this in Affinity I'm afraid.

I thought Sculpt is supposed to do this, although I'm not able to replicate the result in the official tutorial, so I'm pretty bummed....  In like the last 15 seconds she redraws part of the line, but when I do this it just continues my line or even starts a new line. Whyyyyyy.

I figured it out. Sculpt will not redraw a line if you start from the beginning or end nodes since those activate new or continued line respectively. If you start anywhere else on the line (node or not) it works. Of course, this is on my laptop, so I'm not sure if the iPad version has this feature, @Wildcardz.

Yes it does.

@Cealcrest Thanks! It worked! That makes a lot of things easier.
