I love the path feature in Rebelle 7. I create image assets and the path feature is really helpful to me. But some features are missing. [B]1. Transforming path is not intuitive.[/B] Imported path doesn't have resize handles like Illustrator, and path is always resized from its centre point. Also, it is not possible to set exact size, position and rotation radius of a path. This is bad when I have to create graphics with exact dimensions. [B]2. Aligning path[/B] Centering an object is essential feature for graphic design. I need it, Please. Thank you.

+1 from me for that I am also a great lover of Paths in Rebelle, sadly that they seems not pretty well thought. Transforming paths is not only not intuitive, it is in my eyes simply a poor and barely usable implementation. Btw. Stencil Transforming too. Which drives me crazy. Resizing and Transformation in Rebelle allways work from the Center, because there is no moveable Pivot Point in Rebelle and that in 2025 ? Hard to believe.

[USER=234399]@Halloumi[/USER] Dont know if this may work for you, but here a tip. Instead using paths, try to use Stencils if this works for you. The Reason for that is, you can create a Selection from a Stencil and a Stencil from a Selection. The Transform Tools work with Selections. Do your Transformation with the Selection and then you are able in Rebelle to create Stencil from a Selection and you have a Stencil with your Transformation. It sound crazy and my eyes it is. Because a Path is more or less like a Selection. So i see no Reason why the Transform Tool would not work with Paths too.
