Скачать или смотреть Affinity Designer Quick Tip: Reset Bounding Box

** UPDATE: Serif added a new option in the "Select" menu to "Set the selection box" (bounding box). It works on all shapes, whether it is a closed shape or not! (2.4) **

This video shows a quick tip on how to reset the bounding box of a shape, as there is no dedicated tool available at the moment.

In short:
Clicking the "Add" icon will reset the bounding box of the selected shape.

However! if the shape's path is not "closed" the shape will disappear.
Also, if it is a shape with editable parameters (square, gears, tear...etc) it will be converted into a curve and will lose the ability to modify those parameters.

Possible workaround:
A) Add the shape to a group (Ctrl + G)
or
B) Create a square (your own bounding box) and place the shape inside it.
The advantage of this method is having more control over the shape of the bounding box.
