  I would prefer centered on screen as now - it just covers many coding/use case scenarios elegantly. But great idea with the visual feedback.

  @Boldline More info on this one: there is an extra fill content on the groups inside the moved group. This should be fine, but due to a bug, it is not rendered correctly while moving. Workaround: in this case that group fill is not needed, so it could be removed in the Appearance panel.

  @vectoradmin Here is a video of pen tool drawing two curve. First Curve: First node is simple click and second node is drag Second Curve: First node is drag and second node is click Should not those be same(mirror)?. If I create this in other program the two curve are same(mirror). As I already discussed about first node created in VS with pen tool in this thread. What would you say about this? I would really want to know.

  @Boldline Only Linear and Concentric gradients without gradient shape adjustment can be exported as vectors. PDF or SVG should work. All other gradient types are flattened to images when exporting.
• 

  Imported vectors have some node designations that are off - causing interesting results

  Disabling automatic transform shape effect?

  @vectoradmin said in Disabling automatic transform shape effect?: The Transform Content only affects the stroke if it was explicitly selected on the stroke content. It will not affect it if it is selected on other things (that is done by Transform Stroke, which in this case should be unchecked). So I would leave these at default settings (and Transform Stroke is off in Document Setup -> General). Well yes, but remember that I was trying to use this as a workaround for the transform shape effect displacement bugs ( I have just posted a topic with gif to show that it still does occur, will post another for the applying shape ). So in the case of an open path the stroke is the only content to select in order to enable "Transform content" and avoid the shape effect.

  @vectoradmin For now I resorted to having the canvas panel always visible, so I can click to navigat there. Some keyboard shortcuts analogous to this would be nice.

  @vectoradmin I'm going to amend my earlier comment because for some reason I had not ever noticed the "document setup" option under the File menu. That's my fault. Knowing now about that, I would expect to be able to change the individual settings of an existing document within that "document setup" panel, including stroke unit info, etc. Just my 2 cents

  @Boldline There is now a new shape selection action: Object -> Shape -> Select Shape. It will select the shape from the first selected object on the other selected objects.

  @Boldline In the Layers panel: Control+ click on the "visible" icon will change visibility for all objects inside the clicked one, same for the Lock. Shift+click will change for all at the same level.

  @vectoradmin This is awesome! There is a lot to unpack here so I will save questions until I have a chance to thoroughly go through this. Thank you for taking the time to document it. @b77 Your explanation was a great primer to the subject. Thank you as well.
