You can align a selection of nodes and control points within a selected vector in either the horizontal (X) or vertical (Y) axis.
To align a selection of nodes and control points:
- Select
Vector > Node Editing or click the
Node Editing
button.
- Select the vector containing the nodes you want to align. The selected vector is surrounded by a bounding box, within which you can see the spans, nodes and control points.
- Hold down the Shift key and select the node or control point you want to align with the node or control point selected last. The selected nodes and control points are red.
- Right-click any of the selected nodes or control points to display their context menu.
- Select Align Nodes, followed by in X or in Y, depending on the axis with which you want to align the points and control points. By default, the node selected first is aligned with the node selected last, and a single horizontal (X) or vertical (Y) linear span replaces the intermediate nodes.
Note: To preserve all the intermediate nodes when aligning them with the X or Y axis, deselect
Align Nodes - replace with a single line on the
Options panel.
