Three improvement points



  • https://youtu.be/-SlqYrWfElc?feature=shared
    1. Selection of parent object: In Freehand, for a combined graphic, clicking one of its nodes and selecting "parent" will result in the entire line being selected (allowing editing or deletion of this line). However, this operation cannot be performed in VS. For a group, continuously clicking to select "parent" only reaches the top level of the group graphic, while in VS, selecting "parent" ultimately selects the artboard – this logic needs optimization.
    2. Path combination: In Freehand, for combined paths, as shown in the video, both inner and outer circles can be individually selected and edited. For example, when two circles are not on the same axis, they can be combined and aligned simultaneously. This is not feasible in VS.
    3. Alignment: Take the alignment example of Path A and Path B. Selecting a node of Path A and then a node of Path B for alignment can be achieved in VS. However, if selecting a node of Path A and Path B for left alignment, VS cannot perform this operation, and one of the paths will error out.

    Hope these three points can be optimized, thank you.

    @monsterfox I added this to the backlog

    (1) I will add this to the next buils.

    (2) this will not change for now with regular combined paths. But it can be done with creating a group first and then using Object -> Composite Shape -> Combined on the group.

    (3) This work snow, but the problem is that you cannot use the Node tool to select a whole object. So first you need to select an object with the regular transform tool, and then select a node with the Node tool: https://share.cleanshot.com/RHSCt7HG
