Hi,
Is there somewhere that I can turn off seeing nodes on every line I draw in Freehand Tool.
I don't want the nodes to go away as the lines a Curves of course, just temporarily obscured or hidden.
I just want to draw a line like in Photoshop or on paper and not have the nodes everywhere.
As the drawing I am doing has lots of crosshatch shading, every short & fine line I draw is obscured by nodes, which makes for poor linework if you can't see the each line until you make the next line.
I shade very quickly on paper, but is slow in Corel due to nodes everywhere?
It seems strange but I thought it would be a popular question, but I can't find anything remotely on it scouring the far off reached of knowledge base.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think I have asked this previously but Corel have deleted my activity history. The bounding box hides the lines as you draw, so I can't work out how anyone draws anything with detail like cross hatch. Or is that type of drawing only in Bitmap programs?
It's not just for bitmap programs. Illustrator allows you to draw strokes cleanly without seeing the paths and anchor points. Also, you can hide bounding boxes and still be able to hover over a handle and still edit the object even when the handle is hidden. Serif DrawPlus, also does this to a degree but Illustrator is better about it.
1 - You can turn off the view of bounding box while drawing, under Tools/options/workspace/display, enalble "hide bounding box for curve tools"
2 - about to see the nodes while drawing with Freehand tool, maybe I didn't understand cleary the question but I don't the nodes while drawing, only after release the tool.
