Node Alignment Broken

[b77]

@Igull I can't replicate the issue here — aligning nodes is working as it should: https://recordit.co/t7iiVVljtX

Can you record the screen and/or attach a file with the shape?

[Igull]

Yep, vid attached ...

Strange
Does it with any old shape

I see what it is, you're in Australia

Just in case, here's the test file ...

Hmm… it's working here as it should with your file…

Maybe is something related to your Preferences. I would try a reset of the app by starting it while holding Shift+Option+Command, maybe it solves the glitch.

But before doing that, send the settings.xml and workspace.xml files from the
~/Library/Application Support/NumericPath/VectorStyler1.0/vector/data/resources/ folder
to the developer (csraba at …)

Ha ha!

@Igull Is 'Align to key object' enabled here?

@Igull Alignment of nodes is done relative to the bounding box of the selected nodes.

Yes, that cured it - wasting all my carefully produced settings in the process 'though

However, having saved my settings previously, I reloaded them and the issue returned.

I have the previously saved resources folder, should I send that AND the settings file ?

Yes.

OK, perhaps I'm not understanding that, up is up according to the screen surely - whether the object has been rotated or not (the bounding box reference)??
Or am I missing something ?

Ahhh, the penny drops

Now I get it, the reference to the key in the alignment panel - carefully hidden to trap the unwary LOL
I'm sure those three options must be extremely useful to someone, just not to me LOL.

I think that explains my issue, the bounding box is selected from reset, I must have clicked the key at some point down the testing path and my settings would have been saved too - mea culpa

Thanks
