In H19, as soon as I click on a bezier controlpoint (or on the line connecting the point and the handles) it snaps to the axis of whatever viewport I select it in (or in case of the perspective viewport, it snaps to the nearest axis).

Is this a bug or the way it's supposed to work - or am I missing a setting? It makes the new curve tool completely useless!

(To be sure: I don't have any snapping on)

Checked in H19.0.383 and 19.0.455, both python2 and 3 versions

Hey druite,

you have to right-click. in the menu that pops up, you can switch between these settings.
Pick mode: Axis aligned, View plane or camera depth.

Hi CYTE,

it does change the behavior a bit when manipulating from perspective view - not completely snapping to an axis now, but still jumping away from position. When manipulating from side/front/top view, it still snaps.

What seems to work correctly is: Pick mode to View plane, hit 'k' (to see transform handles), then use those to position.
But now another problem arises: I can only select points in front view, the other three don't respond.

Yes, you are right. It doesn't work correctly for the ortho views. Guess you have to file another RFE

Cheers
CYTE
