设计工具画布手柄

Design tools often pack a lot of functionality around the bounding box of selected objects. Some of this functionality is represented by handles or icons, but a lot of it is hidden.

设计工具通常在选定对象的边界框周围提供了很多功能。其中一些功能由手柄或图标表示，但很多功能是隐藏的。

This can make learning the behaviour and interacting with objects pretty tricky. The only way to know if you can perform an action is to hover near the edge of a selected shape and note cursor changes. It’s like inspecting a giant cave with a flashlight, which isn’t conducive to working quickly or confidently.

这可能会使学习行为和与对象的交互变得非常棘手。唯一的方法是在选定形状的边缘附近悬停并注意光标的变化，才能知道是否可以执行操作。这就像用手电筒检查一个巨大的洞穴，这对于快速或自信地工作并不利。

As well as being hidden, interaction hit zones can also be quite small or oddly shaped, making them hard to target. Illustrator and Affinity Designer have settings to control handle sizes. I changed my Illustrator handles to be the second largest size a couple of years ago to make them easier to see in videos. After using them for a while, I ended up keeping the setting. It’s just quicker and less accident prone working with larger handles.

除了被隐藏起来，交互点击区域还可能非常小或者形状奇怪，使得它们很难被选中。Illustrator 和 Affinity Designer 都有设置来控制手柄的大小。几年前，我将 Illustrator 的手柄设置为第二大的尺寸，以便在视频中更容易看到它们。使用了一段时间后，我决定保持这个设置。使用更大的手柄可以更快速、更少出错。

Here’s the object interaction hit zones for the standard transform mode for a rectangle, across various design tools. It’s also worth noting that additional features may be available via modifier keys — Sketch can rotate objects by holding the command key and dragging the corners or sides of the bounding box. That’s less discoverable, but the zones are indicated by the corner widgets, and large enough to easily grab.

这是矩形的标准变换模式在各种设计工具中的对象交互点击区域。值得注意的是，通过修改键可能还可以获得其他功能——Sketch 可以通过按住 Command 键并拖动边界框的角或边来旋转对象。这种方式不太容易发现，但是角部件指示了区域，并且足够大以便轻松抓取。

I’m a fan of the horizontal and vertical resizing being available for the entire side, similar to how Figma and Sketch offer the feature. I’m not sure why you wouldn’t do that, if the space isn’t being used for anyt...
