  @pilkafa There is text on path, but does not result in this precise image. You can do an Align Object to Path with the Alignment panel. use Split Text to separate the characters, then group the 10 make sure you uncheck the Rotate Objects and you can adjust the position along the path using the last icon in the row https://share.cleanshot.com/Dy1pfhcV BTW: the Alignment panel functions can be revealed with the up/down knob in the panel title

  @VectorStyler Thanks. That's correct, but the initial path will jump (wildly) out the position with Reset Center command. Its easier to click last freak node, enter 1 and continue with node setting straight lines with pen tool. Not elegant, but it works,

  @Harry Not possible to use the artboard position as an order for now. Are these artboards on a single Canvas? What would then order be? First horizontally and then vertically? And do these artboards have a name, is is the name the automatic "Artboard *"

  @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

  @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?

  @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.
