Red ochre Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Line/Curve tool, constrain to straight? I draw a straight line between two points. I then wish to extend the ends to the edge of the canvas before 'finish'. I cannot currently see any way of doing this without bending the existing line. Is there a modifier key to constrain the control nubs to a straight line? I suspect there is not (as shift is used as an angle constraint) and I couldn't find anything in the docs. If so, please could one be added or ...(even better and more user friendly) add a straight line option next to the Spline and Bezier options?

Naitsu Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Still no progress on this one as of 4.2.10 ? It is a pain to try to edit a line that is intended to be straight as it just bends when dragging the ends. Why the tool is named Line / Curve if it can only make curves? Yes I know the line can be rotated also around it's center, but this makes precision drawing much more difficult in many situations. What I want to do is simply just edit the end point without affecting the start point. Thanks! -Lauri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 No, it hasn't been done yet. No real need to ask the question if you already know the answer. I'm aware of it. A bug is filed.
