EX/PRO

• We have changed how control points are created when drawing with the Continuous curve sub tool with the Curve set to Cubic Bezier and the specification method set to By drag. The anchor points are created along the line. When you drag an anchor point with the Object sub tool, the position of the direction point will also adjust accordingly with the line. Dragging direction points now behaves the same way as holding alt and dragging a corner point in previous versions.
• In the Tool Property palette for the Control point sub tool, the Process setting now appears as radio buttons instead of a drop-down menu.
• When using Add control point mode of the Control point sub tool and clicking to add a control point, the control point will be created on the existing line rather than the position clicked.
• When using Switch corners mode of the Control point sub tool to click an anchor point on a cubic Bezier curve, the anchor point and the shape of the line will both adjust accordingly.
• When using Switch corners mode of the Control point sub tool and dragging anchor points or direction points on a cubic Bezier curve, you can change the curve shape.
• When using Add control point mode of the Control point sub tool and dragging on a cubic Bezier curve, you can move the added direction point.
• When using the Control point sub tool on a vector layer, the vector path and control points of closed Bezier curves will appear when hovering the mouse over the line.
• When using Split line mode of the Control point sub tool, the line will split at the clicked anchor point.
• We have added a border to the cross symbol that appears when selecting a gradient layer with the Object sub tool.
• We have changed the color and shape of control points that appear when clicking a line on a vector layer with the Object or Control point sub tools.
• When editing a cubic Bezier curve with the Object sub tool, you can hold Shift while dragging a direction point to drag it in 45-degree intervals around the anchor point.
• If you press Alt when creating a line with the Special ruler sub tool, a “┌” symbol will appear beside the cross icon.
• When importing 3D files with parent-child elements, the child nodes will now rotate accordingly when parent nodes are rotated.
