3. Snapping when dragging multiple nodes

Snapping when dragging multiple nodes

  • R

    Dragging and snapping a single node works as expected.

    Should be able to select multiple nodes (from one or more objects) either manually or by marquee, and when ONE of those nodes is dragged then THAT node should snap to objects/nodes, etc. The other selected nodes should move in sync even though they are not involved in the snapping.

    Currently I sometimes see a brief flash of the snapping target object, but only in the precise position of its nodes, not its shape. And only targets on the same layer. No snap action is felt.

    Snap to Shape and Snap to Points are both On. Show Indicators is On.

    I suspect that VS is trying to find locations where ALL of the selected nodes meet the snapping criteria, not just the dragged node.

    Are there settings which govern this?

    While I'm here, why does VS snap to objects on hidden layers? Shouldn't they be automatically excluded?

    @Raven There is no settings for this. All selected nodes will snap by design.
    The snapping should be clearly indicated and it should happen inside the tolerance set in the panel.

    There might be some bug for some special shape or point configuration where the snapping gets it wrong between multiple possibilities

    Please send me a file where this brief flash of the snapping target object occurs.

    It does so by design. Should there be an option for this, or just no snapping for these?
