    Hello guys.  I know there is a button that toggle the visibility of the handlers when we edit paths by nodes. Is there some way to turn on - off the visibility of the nodes of a path when we edit paths by nodes?

    Thanks.

    Hi Vmak,
    You could make the handle size very small in the preferences > interface > handle size.
    I don't think that there is a button or a shortcut for that though.
    So if you want to switch between seeing them and not seeing nodes, you have to open the preferences dialog.

    I don´t know of any toggle or switch to make nodes invisible for editing - not sure if that´s a good idea anyway - how do you know where to grab nodes when not visible? You can down  scale the nodes to a certain degree in the preferences.

    I think it will be very useful in case you deform a complex path object with the  lattice path effect. There will be no confusion between lattice nodes and object nodes. Maybe the different node size and color will help in that case.
