Question

Restore snap-to-grid behaviour for path handles

Hi,

one of the new features in AI CC 2014 is path handles ignoring any grid. However, when one wants to construct C2-contious joins between seperate objects, precise control over the handle position is needed. I do a lot of icon and sprite art, and there it is imperative that curves from differnent objects flow exactly the same to create a smoth transition between individual pieces.

How can one restore the ability of handles to snap to the grid like in previous versions of AI?

Reagrds,

Chris

I guess i do nothing here but preach to the choir, but come on... That we get no response or explanation is just bad bad business. I live and breathe the whole suite and it has been an indispensible tool for me since the mid nineties. Fix this NOW!

As a teacher I'm also very frustated. I've totally have to change my workflow and even worse my way of teaching. Why not make this optional?

At this moment we're downgrading to earlier versions. Please bring this feature back.

Thanks, but that doesn't help. That is about a different issue. That thread is in regards to live corner rectangles not aligning to grid, and being required to now go through three steps to make a rectangle that aligns to a grid... which just so happens to also be ridiculous.

This issue with my handles not snapping to the grid is CRIPPLING my workflow. Why the hell would Adobe completely remove this functionality? Why not make this, I don't know, OPTIONAL!

Fix this. Soon.

I can't believe this doesn't work and the only solution seems to be to install an older version. How do you install an older version anyway? Only CC 2014 is listed in my creative cloud.

LAME!!!

It appears that this feature is still available in InDesign, try that for the time being?

Please look into this issue. It is integral to my work flow. An option in the preferences would do the trick.

For the time being I will be reinstalling Illustrator CC as it renders me unable to work.

I made a video about the issue. Small example w/ suggested (but annoying) workaround.

[By the way; the "updated" video? I have already lost the ability again to have snapping bezier handles. wth Adobe?]

This is incredibly frustrating. Why was this removed?
