  @VectorStyler Oh! interesting. I only enabled that to make testing of your first approach easy. Without that rotation knob, and the pivot point knobs in the transform panel deactivated, it works exactly as you said. Thanks for getting back on this.

  Affirmed. Though moving the layer is a fix for the nodes, the handles and (sometimes) deformation lines are still not available

  @monsterfox said in Detail optimization and function enhancement: Besides, have you tested copying and pasting between these two programs? Yes, in both directions. Copying from AI to VS will have some changes, as it goes through PDF and VS will get only what AI exported to PDF (including the clipped groups)

  @Raaskot this is not possible, as the stroke is added and does not override the stroke inside the group. You need to remove the stroke from the object that is inside the group, to make the parent stroke thinner. There is a bug here, with hiding sublayers if a style was specified in the parent layer. I will try to fix this.

  @EricP There was an old program called "Creature House Expression" that had a similar version back then. There, you could simply select a previously drawn brush with the brush tool itself, and the brush tool would then continue painting with that brush. But i like the VectorStyler way via Ctrl-Key a little more. Because it offers some more possibilities with other Tools too. Here a Video, i still have a copy of "Creature House Expression" works fine with win 10.

  @Boldline In the Snapping panel menu open Snapping Options and enable Snap to Path Boxes (second column around the center). This will create separate snapping positions for each glyph

  If you go to this URL: https://boxy-svg.com/ And then click on the round spline tool with the single dot [see screen shot] you can see what drawing with a 3-point curve looks and feels like. It is really good for making vectors that are NOT tracing. Bezier curves with the handles are better for tracing existing images, like using a transparent layer. I would be the happiest man on earth if 3-point curves came to VectorStyler. image url)

  Is Vectorstyler able to warp, perspective or other kind of manipulations on bitmaps like transparents pngs, or similar?

  Can we add the ability to sample a color from the artboard itself and then use it as the color choice for the path brush, etc?

  @Boldline Yes, when those horizontal curves intersect with others those points will show up.

  @Raaskot In this case the join can only be done by selecting both nodes (even if overlapping) and using the join command from the context panel (with the Node tool). Should it be an option to join automatically?

  @monsterfox When using custom shapes as corners, the shapes are not "bent" to the corner angle. They are just attached. If you need proper rounded corner, use the default corner type.
