Point Transform Tool - duplicate + mirror


Recommended Posts

Don´t seems you´re using the "Point Transform Tool" (F).

Ok, you are correct wasn't using it.

Another thing: I've noticed that If I try to use the Tool with a complex design (result of boolean addition of many shapes) it won't work. It will just drag the copy and not make a transformation happen.

Am I doing anything wrong?

Steps are...

At least for me, this only works if there is a node on the curve at one of its corners & with the Point Transform Tool I drag on one of those nodes. So for example, it would work with the lower shape below but not the upper one:

Am I missing something?

In this case the Move Tool will do:

Yes, it will, but my point is the Point Transform Tool will not. It would be nice if we had a simple Duplicate & Mirror tool mode of some sort that worked on all shapes.

Exactly, we shouldn't have to duplicate, then go into a special point mode, then have to move the mouse back and forth 10 times to make sure it's -100% scale, then flip it.

That's even when it does work, because as others have said it often does not.

It will:

I could not get it to snap to 100% size, regardless of which node I used. Am I missing something, or is it just a matter of very carefully setting it to 100% manually?

Either way, it is still a multi-step operation so it would be nice if there was a one-step duplicate & mirror tool mode of some kind built into the app.

It's more than just a nice to have really. Graphics apps have had this basic functionality for over 3 decades.

I have also noticed that topics seem to be taking more time to load than usual. Maybe related?

Absolutely, at first it was only a slow response time issue we were investigating, however this became a cloudfront 403 Error whenever trying to post replies - we've since resolved the error stopping anyone from posting (obviously :D) but we're still working to resolve the slow loading speeds currently
