Hi Aciden,

I am sorry to hear you don't like them. What exactly makes them so bad in your opinion?
The good news is, you can always go back to the old handle controls by a registry setting.
In case you need help with that, let me know!

Looking forward o your answer

Best, Eva

Often inconvenient without the usual selection of objects. For example, I regularly work in wireframe mode to accurately fit objects. But try to stretch the block, when there are no selection points, you have to constantly increase the object.

Eva, can you advise the Registry settings.

This is a software crutch. Better to do it conveniently or return everything back.

For the Selectors, there is no real indication that the middle controls also handle Skew.

I'm just coming to the party but the mouse over or off still shows the double arrows. Or am I missing something?

The new selector overlaps the "Object edit handles" (toggle on the selector toolbar).
Although I can see the "Object edit handles", I couldn't use/manipulate them anymore.

Hi Acorn and everyone else who is interested,

here a short introduction how to use the old handle controls by a change in the registry:

Open registry editor and go to:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro Sub x64\17\Options\Selector Tool\ShowXCBoundsBlobs.

There, change the value from 1 to 0 to turn off the new handles.


@Aciden and everyone who does not like the handle controls so far: as mentioned in previous and other threads, this is just a starting point. We will no stop working on it until all ux and handling problems are solved. Actually it would be great to have you as a participant for beta testing of the new handle controls initiative to understand your workflow and use cases better and more in advance. Are you interested? In the meantime, stay tuned and happy creating

Looking forward to your response!

Best,
Eva

FWIW

I did not like the new handles at first. But I have been working in the desktop version on my stereogram projects and I am starting to like them a lot. So maybe don't give up on them just yet.

I like the selection with Contours that automatically selected the top part of the contour.

THANK YOU so much!!
