@ZATOPEK This is in the backlog for 1.3 (later)

@VectorStyler said in Thoughts on the Distortion Tools: @Subpath I added this to the features backlog, and I will try to find a solution for 1.3 some distortion Tools into one Tool This last point is not clear Let's say you have 4 distortion tools that are most similar, e.g. in terms of settings. That these could perhaps be combined into one tool and the options of the 4 tools could then be accessed via a dropdown menu in this combined tool. This could reduce the number of distortion tools somewhat but keep the features of it. Just an Idea dont know if this makes sense.

@Subpath @VectorStyler Thank you very much for the help. Needed this function for a project work. I can use both the circular and liquify brush settings shared here. I agree illustrator tools are very fluid over VS brushes, may to find the right settings and speed as you pointed out.

@Boldline I added this to the backlog.

@monsterfox I add this to the backlog for the future.

@monsterfox I will add this to the features backlog.

@Li-Xiao as I wrote before VectorStyler is the "Swiss Army knife of vector graphics"

@VectorStyler Thank you.

@Boldline Most of these additions will be for 1.3.

@William-Kansepa your welcome Here is an example from me, I once had the idea that it could be useful for a circuit board like graphic design so i made me this custom Arrow Head [image: 1721205538458-circuit-boards.png]

@VectorStyler said in Can the Bucket Fill Tool be improved by allowing it to create shapes based on negative space between paths?: I will add the fill/stroke in the next build. This will be a very helpful added function! thank you

@VectorStyler VS currently has several transformation tools that operate outside the selection box, and what is needed now is a tool that can operate within the selection box. Freehand and Ai both have tools that can be operated within it, and you can experience it.

@Boldline I will add this to the features backlog for now. I will try to find a solution for these issues.

@Boldline Should also be configurable in the Settings -> Modifiers section.

@VectorStyler I would say it is a very minor thing and I can live without it, don't want to overload VS, so let's stick with setting the stroke mode by now. This idea came to me from the way color fills are handled with the color wheel (fill and stroke fill). If you select colors from the color wheel, you can use the right mouse button for stroke fill without setting the stroke mode first. . . But I'm wondering what the right mouse menu is for when the color picker is active. I didn't understand the point of it. . . @Boldline ...Are you suggesting getting rid of the right-click menu... No, not really. See my answer to VS. But I was surprised about the right-click menu that you can call up when the color picker is active and I don't really understand its purpose.

@Boldline Will be fixed soon!

@monsterfox Maybe in later versions (requires a bit of work), the problem is that there is no "persistent" selection of these nodes, they are selected only while the mouse is pressed. But you can adjust the distortion precisely using the Shape Effects panel.

@Boldline said in Improvements to the Anchor point tool: then click on the same node again, the entire node is erased - is this the normal function? yes, this is by design. I will add this to the features backlog.

@William-Kansepa I added this to the backlog.

Apart from that i find it useful to select all Nodes of a Shape this way i find it also helpful for to add new Nodes the Corel Way Select a node, then press CTRL+A to select all nodes and then press "+" as many times as you need and you have evenly inserted Nodes all around the Shape Here a little Video
