@Boldline I think this could be caused by the curve control point being too close to the node.

@encart @Boldline For me at least the Esc works. But there is also a Preferences -> Changing Options -> Don't Extend with Pencil that can be checked to skip extension even if selected.

@vectoradmin Good question I would think point text

Thanks for the info, that's clever. I'm going to use that a lot now! [image: 1632825895625-screenshot-2021-09-28-at-11.40.53.png]

@vectoradmin , thanks a lot already downloaded

@Boldline Added to the backlog.

@Boldline This is in the backlog.

Thank you.

@Boldline AI also has this but I think the default there is Winding. Once the winding fill mode is set for a shape (Appearance panel, or Object -> Content -> Winding Fill), the new shapes will be drawn with it. I think there could be a preferences for having it on by default.

@Boldline There is an option: Prferences -> Editing Options -> Adjust Node Removal Curvature, that will not approximate the original curve when removing a node.

@Boldline Can be implemented, added to the backlog. Attached the file here: gradientidea1.vstyler

@Boldline Added this to the backlog.

@Boldline When creating new presets, these are added to the root of the group (specific to the preset type). The Panels -> Presets -> Presets panel, or the Styles -> Preset Manager view can be used to place these into folders, or to create new folders.

Thank you.

@Boldline This can be replicated, added it to the backlog.

@Boldline If I understand correctly, I think you need to enable 'Show Nodes of Selected Shapes' in Preferences > Editing Options.

@Subpath2 Thanks!

Hi @Boldline The Reason while you can not import Affinity Designer Brushes may also be , that only one Brush in Affinity Designer is a real Vector Brush. The others are Bitmaps along a Vector Path.

@vectoradmin i just sent you the file and an explanation. Basically the left side of the sunglasses were initially a copy and flip of the right side. So everything on the left side will be in reverse I assume - based on other discussions in the forum about that. Maybe the solution here is I need to flip the path direction?
