  @VectorStyler VS currently has several transformation tools that operate outside the selection box, and what is needed now is a tool that can operate within the selection box. Freehand and Ai both have tools that can be operated within it, and you can experience it.

  @VectorStyler I would say it is a very minor thing and I can live without it, don't want to overload VS, so let's stick with setting the stroke mode by now. This idea came to me from the way color fills are handled with the color wheel (fill and stroke fill). If you select colors from the color wheel, you can use the right mouse button for stroke fill without setting the stroke mode first. . . But I'm wondering what the right mouse menu is for when the color picker is active. I didn't understand the point of it. . . @Boldline ...Are you suggesting getting rid of the right-click menu... No, not really. See my answer to VS. But I was surprised about the right-click menu that you can call up when the color picker is active and I don't really understand its purpose.

  @monsterfox Maybe in later versions (requires a bit of work), the problem is that there is no "persistent" selection of these nodes, they are selected only while the mouse is pressed. But you can adjust the distortion precisely using the Shape Effects panel.

  @Boldline said in Improvements to the Anchor point tool: then click on the same node again, the entire node is erased - is this the normal function? yes, this is by design. I will add this to the features backlog.

  @Li-Xiao said in Corner Editing Nodes shift and distort shapes: @William-Kansepa It is recommended to use the shape panel to adjust the dimensions of the rectangle instead of using the transform panel. This way, you can avoid any distortion issues with the corners. @Li-Xiao, thank you. I tried your recommendation and it works as expected. I once had a go at the Shape panel in my early days working with VS and the only gripes I had with it was: Dimensions input through the Transform panel would not match those in the Shape panel Object size input from the Shape panel would differ from the one displaying in the Transform panel With the multitude of panels, tools, menu items and functions, VS is so overwhelming and unfortunately since I was a very raw beginner in the program, I was then forced to neglect this panel in order to minimize confusion. To this day, I still strongly believe that the Transform and Shape panels should be further integrated to act in harmony. They should both display similar dimensions. Illogical logic perhaps? After all, at the end of the day a dimension still remains as such. Would you agree with me that ideally in the real world one should be able to make manual transformations on the fly and still flawlessly achieve their desired objectives? There is need to introduce more fluidity or rather intuitiveness in VS to complement the otherwise rigidity of some of the panel/modal views and dialog boxes. Observe that in most graphic design software this is the norm. Once again, thanks for the tip.

  @William-Kansepa I opened a bug on this one because it should already work with the "Register As Spot Color" palette panel menu option. But that option does not work with unnamed colors. I will extend this to be able to generate color names.

  @Boldline said in File size warning indicator option: What about adding an option to warn the user with a popup if the VM file size reaches a certain level Maybe some other form of warning that a popup. Could be in the Document Info panel? But this slowdown issue is a concern, as it should not slow down even with a larger history. Was it slow when saving the file, or when trying to make changes (editing)?
