Spline > Append Fit Point (s)

Post by TSG » Tue Oct 20, 2020 7:53 am

I took a look at snapshot 3.25.2.1 on macOS.
The change records speak of "Draw> Spline > Append Fit Point (s)".
When I try to attach a new fit point to a "spline with fit points" using the new tool, the tool stops responding and I cannot attach anything to anything.
What did I misunderstand?

Thanks for your report. The problem has been fixed for the next release.

The tool only works in 3.25.2.1 when launched from the context menu:
- Right-click on a spline with fit points
- choose "Append Fit Point(s)"

Yes, launching from the context menu works pretty well.
Thank you.

In 3.25.2.2 under macOS the appending of spline points works.
Instead, no more spline points can be inserted in closed splines when the attribute of the spline says Closed: No. Not even via the context menu.

I cannot reproduce that here.

Please make sure the closed spline does have fit points (not control points).

If you can't solve it:
- is the context menu entry "Insert Fit Point" shown for the spline?
- what happens if you try to insert a fit point using the context menu?
- please attach the file

Thanks.

As I found out, it's a little bit more complicated and hard to describe.
It depends on the attrribute "closed periodically".

Here an example.
