jackamus Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Is there a short-cut for viewing the nodes of a group? I want to be able to place a guide line running through a particular node. Obviously I could do this by un-grouping etc but since discovering that I can edit a group without un-grouping I would rather not. Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

Paul Bravery Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi jackamus, Unless I'm missing something in your question, I believe that selecting the node tool will do what you want? Screen shot included: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackamus Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 It won't select the nodes of a group. Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

Staff MEB Posted June 27, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi jackamus, No, the only way to show the nodes of all objects of a group is selecting them all in the Layers panel (click on the first, press ⇧ (shift) while clicking the last one in the group). This however will not solve your issue, because to create a guide you will need to change to the Move tool (it's the only tool that allows you to drag a guide), and as soon you do that the nodes become deselected again. I think those limitations will be addressed at some point. I'm not yet aware of how Ben't latest improvements to the snapping system/guides will affect (or not) this particular issue. But there's some changes coming. I´ve also suggested to make the Move tool node aware sometime ago, to help with this and other situations. One way or another, just give us some time. I'm sure this will be sorted out. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackamus Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Sounds good to me. I find it a source of encouragement that I'm not always alone in my suggestions.
