Hello Michael, all,
Outside of mechanical CAD drawing and modeling, I am also using MOI as an organic sketching and lineart tool. This is of course outside of the intended scope of the software, but the raw power that MOI gives actually makes it very suitable for such use - It is way faster and way more responsive than Inkscape or Affinity Designer for instance.
With that said, I'd like to find a workaround for the following. Because of the nature of sketching, one always ends up with near (but not quite) overlapping lines and/or disjointed strokes. The fix consists of displaying the control points, deleting the undesired ones, and snapping points to close the gaps. And then, at the curve level, joining the two curves. Like so :

Is there a way to accelerate the process ? Ideally, a good order of operations would consist of selecting all the desired points and then performing an "all in one" action, scaling all these points down to their barycenter and getting the two source curves connected. And also ideally, this would work on either polylines or smooth interpolated curves.
Of course I am also open to any other suggestions related to lineart cleanup, as perhaps some existing features or custom scripts could be of some help. It also goes without saying that I am also interested in ways to avoid such disjointed curves in the first place - perhaps the sketch tool can be made to automatically connect lines existing curves to newly drawn ones ?
Thanks ! |
