Hey, okay, I was working all my life with x3 now started to work with x8, and I found out strange curves bending:https://i.gyazo.com/5068ecf0960166e5d0458369d562ab5d.mp4So working with circle shape is tragedy for me, to avoid this crap I should add additional nodes, or correct those bending by hand, so such a things taking a lot of time...Any solutions?
And also if you move object from the place with "shape tool" the same horrible thing happens ;i.gyazo.com/41886eb627a52b5c3a60d32476ee68d2.mp4
I believe you're using "uniform" nodes. Select all nodes and choose "Cusp" before to drag nodes
Yes the "Cusp" helping for such a thing, but don't you think it's strange when you trying to move object with that tool without moving the nodes, and it's defomating the shape?
No, since it was the difference between cusp nodes, symmetric, etc. It's not an error or malfunction of the program, just different options. I always start using cusp nodes on all drawings, then change some nodes if I need it
Hmm, no it's not normal when you move all shape and it distorting. it should be repaired in future versions of corel:)
If you move the object, using the Pick tool or with the Shape tool (all nodes selected), it is logical to expect the object to retain its shape. It surely is a bug and needs to be fixed.
I understand your point of view, but this is not a bug. A bug is when something doesn't work as it should be, on this situation it works as is was designed. Maybe is not what you expect, but it's not working wrong. The problem is to remember the difference between cusp and uniform nodes, If you change the node type, you can drag without any problem. Then, it's not a bug, although the default values could be different in order to avoid this kind of mistakes
Wow, If you are saying that an object can and will probably change shape to something else, when you select all its nodes and move it from one place to another, and it is to be expected, I beg to differ.
Regardless of what type of nodes the object is comprised of, I would expect the shape to be retained as is. It definitely is a bug.
Say this is part of a design. Created by first drawing the two concentric circles and combining them and then welding it to the top rectangle.Now, I want to move the circle part to some position to the right. So I select all the nodes that form the circle part and move them to the right, (Use the mouse or use the arrow keys on the keyboard). Boom! The circle is all wonky.This is what is to be expected, and this is how the software is designed to work? You got to be kidding me.
Suku, if the nodes are "smooth", this is how it was designed. What 7gone want is Cusp nodes.
suku said:Regardless of what type of nodes the object is comprised of, I would expect the shape to be retained as is. It definitely is a bug.
According with your point of view, the "elastic mode" should be also a bug. But not, it was a feature introduced several years ago. Maybe you don't like it but it's not a bug since it was designed deliberated as is. And if you choose "cusp" nodes, it works fine.
if you use "Cusp" nodes, there's no problem when move. The only problem is that your'e using "smooth" nodes. A simple explanation, and a simple solution. See the attached image. using cusp nodes there's not any problem at all.
So, the question is... why nodes are "smooth" instead "cusp"? because the original shape was a circle. try with rectangles, stars or any other shape with straight lines, and there's no such problems, because straight lines use cusp nodes.
Maybe default nodes after should change to "cusp" always. Maybe you don't like. But this is a feature request, not a bug.
Ariel, what you telling is a solution for the coreldraw bug, and thanks again, but by default it should not distort after moving the circle, or it should be distorted all the time, because where are no logic, why it should distort just because it change the x y position on the coreldraw page.
