      In VS, when I go to close a path, I can currently hold down the alt/option modifier key and only affect one side of the node path -this is a good thing, but once I press the modifier key, I cannot keep adjusting that one side unless I let go and move things around some more and press again. This of course, makes the other side of the line go crazy temporarily and you don't fully know how the controlled side will look until you press and hold again.
      Here is a video of this in VS

      What I would prefer is to have total control after pressing the alt/option modifier to adjust the one side of the line as much as I want before fully committing. This is how it works in Illustrator and how I'd like to see it in VS.
      Illustrator does not have the symmetric node option that I'm aware of, so it's not a perfect example to share - as you can see in my illustrator video, I do not have to have the option key held down, but in the second example, it shows still what I would like the function in VS to be like

      I think this topic has been discussed some in the past so I apologize if I'm being repetitive.

          @Jayanta-Das Yes! I forgot to see how AD was doing it. The first example you made in this video is exactly what I'm talking about and wanting to have available in VS. thanks!

            @Boldline Yes I asked in a post in question section and Vectoradmin told that there is some issue is pen tool making cusp node. May be it related to that issue.
