  @Boldline It is in the Pencil tool, but before starting to draw, check the "Eraser" option in the context panel.

  @Subpath said in Path Sketch unexpected result: @Boldline, @VectorStyler I have no problem if @VectorStyler just improves the path sketch tool. And I can live without a modifier key. That was just a thought that went through my head. I appreciate your idea

  @Boldline Case 1: A graphic filled with color, when splitting the nodes, the situation mentioned above will be obtained. Case 2: Importing a third-party file, it is not smooth, with many nodes, whether the path is closed is unknown, and it is easy to cause misguidance.

  @Boldline I got the file, and yes there is a problem here. "exclude" is the shape combine operation (Object -> Combine Path -> Exclude)

  @Pat said in Repeater & Symbols - 2 questions: indeed the "Preview" feature that doesn't render changes in real time I will try to fix these for the next build.

  @Pat This seems to be a bug, with text in a compound shape. I will fix it ASAP.

  @debraspicher I will try to find out what could cause this in the MSI installer.

  @Boldline It should be added when pasting the text. But only a single font is added, in case of multi-font formatted text. Send me a file that contains font that is not added when pasted.

  @debraspicher said in Is there a way to hide the bounding box temporarily?: Sometimes the bounding box displays on the secondary view(s), sometimes it doesn't. Each document view should have its own separate selection. So the secondary view should not display a bounding box, if it has no selection. I will try to replicate this, as it seems to be a bug.

  @VectorStyler Yes, I did this but it also works by selecting all the symbols in once & CtrlX-CtrlV.

  @debraspicher The default Layers panel selection in VS is similar to the one in Illustrator. But in VS you can configure in the Layers panel menu -> Panel Options to sync the on canvas and Layers panel selection by checking "Select Highlighted" and "Highlight Selected" options.

  @Raaskot "Symbol 1" cannot be moved (replicated here also). This is caused by having Layers inside the symbol (only groups and objects are supported). The only way to solve this now is to remake the symbol with groups and objects (no layers in the symbol). I will try to fix this issue in the next build. "Symbol 2" can be moved here

  @Raaskot A solved-note for myself and the audience. Be aware to choose mode of line segment. Then it works

  @Boldline you're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful perhaps it's possible to create an Action out of it? I agree, it's a bit hidden

  @Boldline Were these panels docked or floating? It seems that the workspace file resets for some reason (it does that for some key presses at startup)

  @VectorStyler one thing I like in Affinity is that an obvious indicator appears when the selected shape is completely snapped flush with the first shape. In this example screenshot below, the three squares to the right side of the green line were dragged over to touch the original three squares on the left side. When they touched, an obvious green line appeared to let the user know they were exactly flush Here is a gif of what I am talking about
