Eraser and Knife Tool bugs.
-
@Igull Seems to be working here for other objects also (not just the first, where the eraser was used).
In the context panel, there is a "Source" drop down, try selecting a different option.

NeilPS, I'll reboot VS and see if that matters.

Just tried rebooting VS with a new file, same issue, first object ok - successive objects no. Source makes no difference either.

Seems that if an object is selected, then the eraser tool won't work on subsequent (unselected) objects. The eraser tool automatically selects the first object when you attempt to erase of course
It works ok (on the next object) if you deselect the first object.Neil

@Igull Same here: https://recordit.co/6p6vInXuJk
The workaround is to press the Escape key, which deselects
the current object and lets you "jump" to any other.
-
@Igull I will have to replicate this somehow.

@b77
Yes, I've been using the escape keyNeil

Perhaps a "select all" or select all parts that should
be edited with the Eraser might be helpful

Selecting the parts that you need to erase is yet another minefield of work
Why not just have it work correctly - pick erase tool - erase part - simples - that's how the thing on the end of your pencil works
A 'workaround' would be to have VS automatically deselect after each erase operation - then the problem would simply disappear

was just a though of mine
