    Default Number of control points

    Hi, could you please advise on what does it depends that how many control points are on an object in Designer Pro as default?

    For example in Shape Tool creating a horizontal line (click and somewhere beside CTRL - click), at me it creates control points at the end of the lines plus two ones on the line.

    That is super anyway because immediately can be seen where is the 33% of the line length, but could be set somehow this that how many control point should be as default?

    thanks,

    Default Re: Number of control points

    Sorry in this example - in Shape Tool creating a horizontal line (click and somewhere beside CTRL - click) - as I can see only there are two control points, at the start end end point of the line.

    The other two ones at 33% and 66% are Bezier controls so different category.

    In this way a question that is there maybe a way to set somewhere middle control points as a default in the program? Or has to count rather manually the ratios and place always manually a control point with double click on the line

    you can use either the line length or point handle boxes to move the points or nodes to any set place on the line there are arrows to nudge it or you can type any value directly in the box.
