Duplicating a Path Section - per manual, doesn't seem to work
-
I can't make this work. Is this procedure correct?

@pentool Tested here and seems to be working: https://share.cleanshot.com/ySbtjwbJ
Could be a modifier key settings change.

Well, yes, it works because you selected all the nodes. Per the manual, it says "...any section of a path between two nodes..."
I think the wording threw me off. I selected 2 nodes of a path but it doesn't work even though the manual says "between 2 nodes". I figured I have to select 2 nodes and drag the section. But it seems you have to select 3 nodes (at the minimum) for it to work.

@Subpath Must be a windows issue. It works for me with Option on the Mac but have to select 3 or more nodes.
-
curious, it doesnt work with the Alt-key on Windows
but via Menu >Object > Transform > Move
it works with also with just two nodes
if i select just one Node this way the whole Path will be copied

I don't know how this happened,
but your post here is in the wrong thread

I will test this on Windows.

Yes the wording might need to be changed. The two node selection case does something else (stretching rotating the path section).

doesnt work via ALt+key here too
I tested this on Windows, doe to some other features, the Alt key must be pressed after starting the node movement.

got it, thanks
But that is not necessary if i copy a Shape via the Alt keyAlso curious, that this way works only with 3 Nodes selected as a minimum,
but copy only 2 Nodes work if a use the way via Transform Move
which i showed above
.
.
For anyone who is reading this:
To copy a part of a Path on Windowsselect minimum 3 Nodes
select any of that 3 Nodes hold the left Mouse Button down
(selecting the Path doesnt work)press the Alt-key then and move the Part of the Path
and that Part will be copied
-
@Subpath The 3 node limit is because of a conflict with an other feature, where the Alt+ with 2 node selection will stretch the section between the two nodes.

understand, have no Problem with that, (just wondered)
if i need it i will add a node if necessary and deleted it later on
