      The snapping feature cannot snap the shape's own nodes, etc..

        @Li-Xiao Check 'Snap to Original' in the Snapping panel's menu.

          @b77 Thanks
          After being away on a business trip for more than ten days, I haven't adjusted back to the local time, I forgot to look at the options in the menu. 😇

            @b77 How to snap the midpoint of polygon edges without adding nodes, as adding nodes would disrupt the live effect of polygon

              @Li-Xiao There is no snapping to midpoints of segments.

                @Li-Xiao You can do it with 'Snap to Objects' instead, by drawing the ellipse
                from the center with Ctrl-Shift: https://recordit.co/KUfIpjiPf8

                  @b77 Thanks
                  That's also a solution, but it seems like there is an issue with my snapping feature.

                    @Li-Xiao Hm…it looks like it doesn't work when the polygon is selected.
                    (It's selected immediately after drawing it).

                      a more unsual approach, its also possible to switch between
                      a smart shape polygon and path polygon
                      via the Shape Picker Tool

                      so you can use the path for alignment and
                      replace it later

                      See video here

                        @Subpath Thanks, It would be much more convenient if the snapping feature worked like in CD, where snapping to edges is possible.
                        @VectorStyler I hope an option for creating polygons based on the length of sides can be added.

                          I added this to the backlog.

                          Snap to the last shape while drawing will work better in the next build.

                          snapping to edges

                          This is a bit difficult for object resizing. It can work for special cases (as in Corel), but we need something like collision snapping that works for movements only.
