Unlocking the handles

Is something not working like it should? Let us know.

I was playing with the Draw tool and notice that I can't move one handle at a time.. I tried alt+handle click to unlock them but it didn't work. Is this feature missing or I'm doing some wrong?

It turns out the combination I was looking for is ⌘+handle click. Which allows the movement of single handle but when you try to move the other handle.. it moves both of them

Hi John.

I don't think that it's a bug. I just think that's it's not operating how you think it's operating.

Rather than Cmd + drag being used to drag the handles independently, I think that Cmd + drag toggles the node from being a point to symmetry to one of inflection.

So an initial Cmd + drag will switch the point's mode as you want but if you just drag the handles after that (without Cmd) you won't switch it back.

Hope this helps.

Yep, Stef's right — I get caught out by this myself from time to time, so I can definitely empathise. I think we could improve here. :ok_hand:
