Feature Request: Gang-select & copy/paste curves

I love the new curve updates, and they arrived just in time for a project that is perfect for them. I've run into a few things that would make them much better. 

 

1. Gang select curves: I realized early on that curves can independently affect layer settings. That is, normal can be toggled on and off per curve, for example. This is a powerful feature, but selecting each curve to match or alter settings quickly becomes laborious. 

2. Universal override for curve settings: I would love to be able to toggle an override so that I can change the settings of all curves at once. 

3. Copy and paste curves! They can take a while to draw. Please let me reuse them. I used curves to make a pretty complex mask. I then wanted to use the same curves with the new pucker brush. It was a bummer to realize that wasn't possible, and I would have to redraw all of my curves again. 

4. Curve import: would love to be able to import curves from my 3D apps.

 

Bonus: The pucker brush stamp is too long. It can't take smaller rounded shapes like grommets. A circle or small space pucker would be cool.

    Hi GeoffroySC. My second request is very similar to the first. I think the default behavior should be:

    • All curves are affected by changes to layer if no curves are selected. This makes the layer a universal setting for all curves. 
    • When selecting individual curves, or gang select multiple curves, then universal settings are overridden by selected curve settings. However, unselected curves would still have base settings defined by layer and would still be adjustable by main layer settings.

     

    Thanks for transferring this to the product designers. Much appreciated!

    Hi,
    Could you explain your second feature request in detail, I'm not sure if I understand use case? It seems to be really similar to your first point.

    Yes, all those features are useful and are transferred to our Product Designers !
    Keep in mind this isn't a promise and there aren't any ETA on those.

    Thank you for helping make our software better,

    Kind Regards,
    Geoffroy SC

    I would like to be able to slide a whole curve around on an object, instead of individual pints.
