skew in transform mode

Hi ​@Outpost24:

When transforming Mask points, we can scale (constrained proportions or unconstrained) or rotate, but not skew.

This would make a great feature request.

Path shape exported as .eps file, and converted back into path in AE. Of course I can just as well create a path shape directly in AE with the pen tool, it’s just more user friendly in AD.

Either way, I’m in Free Transform mode as specified, so obviously just transforming these nodes within the bounding box. 

Is there no way to skew these nodes?

It was a path shaoe I created in Affinity and convert to an eps file, then Create Shapes from Vector layer. 

Hey Outpost24,

Thanks for the post. I’m not totally sure what kind of object/path this is from the screenshot. Can you give us a little more info about what you’re working with here?

For example:

• is this a shape layer, mask, or something else?

• was the path created with the Pen tool?

• are you transforming the layer itself or just the path?

That’ll help narrow down whether Free Transform supports what you’re trying to do in this specific context.

@Rick Gerard @Warren Heaton — do either of you know whether AE supports skew/shear directly in this particular Free Transform context?

Hope we can help you!

Thanks,

Kevin
