Ideas for the future of the shape builder tool

[zaphodeist]

There was nothing set for default, I went into the Key Shortcuts bit and set it to H ... works fine afaics :-)

are you on classic shortcuts - if so try toggling to standard keys and then back - also it probably won't work if you have 'autodeselect' registry/xareg set

Not working for me and I get this strange error message every time I start Xara:

Some key shortcuts could not be loaded: TemplateSaver
TemplateSaverMaker


I guess my update is broken - bah!

Ah yes, good point. If you have made any changes to your hotkeys and saved them then you'll need to either use one of the Reset options in the hotkeyts dialog, as Handrawn says, or if you want to keep your hotkey setup, just use that dialog to assign whatever key you like to the "Toggle path handles on/off" command.

I re-set the short cuts and pressing 'h' does the job. I seem to get 1 control point displaying but that is no big deal.
Many thanks again. This is REALLY handy.

What I would like to see in the future for the shapebuilder and the eraser tool is transparency settings on the info bar rather than having to back and forth to the transparency tool.

possibly deliberate to flag selected object ?

Could be. Not at all distracting so I'm happy. I just need some time to play now :-)

I'm pretty excited about this tool. I've done a tiny bit of playing to get a work flow going. Drawing an outline and then breaking the shape is a pretty handy work around for not having a fill tool. I just need work out some shortcuts
