About the size of vector tool, points welding/merging/fuse
Hi all,
Anyone knows if I'm missing something here ?
I'm in Photo & graphic designer 11.
I've looked everywhere in the help file,
there is no way to have a smaller nib than 10 pixels for the Eraser tool or Shape painter tool when working on vector shapes ?
(using mouse, not a graphic tablet)
also there is no way to weld (a 3d term also refered as fuse or merge ) two or more selected points in a vector shape ?
any help/trick appreciated
p.s. have any of those lack facts changed in v16 ?
;)

Increase the zoom. The eraser and shape painter nibs will remain the same size. :)
Not sure what you are trying to accomplish in your second question. Can you be more specific? I am sure there is an answer.

First question - figured it by myself, increasing the size of the page makes the minimal brush... smaller.
makes no sense bu I can live with that as it works...kinda...
second question : as it seems I cannot upload to forum, I'll try to reformulate :
Say I have 10 points forming a shape, is there any way I can select 5 of thoses and make them 1 ?
(its called JOIN SELECTED NODES in inkscape)
deleting points doesn't do it for me, joining them creates a single point in the averaged middle of the 5 selected ones.

don't know about version 11 but later versions have a toggle on the infobar that lets you switch brush control between fixed and screen pixel sizes for that tool
i think i know what you mean re nodes - simplify the node structure without changing the curve right ?
i don't know of a way in xara, maybe an expert will..

select the nodes and increase the smoothing slider to suit. May not remove all nodes selected but should reduce them.
