Lasso Select Anchor Points

ahainen · 2021-06-03T17:44:22+00:00

I need to select anchor points on a shape or across multiple shapes In Figma, I hit Enter and go into Edit Mode. Currently, I can only use rectangular lasso options. I’d really prefer lasso style options, specifically a free draw lasso like in Illustrator. Shapes get bizarre and weird, and often a rectangular lasso just doesn’t cut it. Across the board, the lasso tool in Illustrator is the biggest reason I keep using Illustrator for shape editing instead of Figma. What are others thoughts on selecting anchor points in Illustrator vs in Figma?

The lack of a basic lasso tool is crippling.

yeep! i often edit some curves and points and it would be soooo so incredibly helpful to have an opportunity to select them by lasso tool

Please please add this feature. It’s incredibly annoying to select drawings with a square selection tool. This is the only thing preventing me from using FigJam for professional work.

Hi all! I would like to introduce my plugin - Lasso Tool. It allows you to draw a freehand selection and copy or cut all layers within it with one click. I hope it can solve your problems. Feel free to ask me if you want to change or add something.
