Hi,

I’ve never contacted support before, because your product has always been fairly intuitive. It did cause problems now and then, but I could usually sort them out by trial and error. Today, though, I’m beyond frustrated, guys. I spent a full hour and a half of my life trying to move selected 2D objects from a specific point to a point on another 2D object. And you know what? I couldn’t do it.

Just think about it: I’ve been using your product for several years, and today I couldn’t do an operation that used to take me 10 seconds. It’s honestly awful. I wasted my time and didn’t finish my work, all because you broke a function that never used to take any effort.

I’d like to ask your developers for a detailed answer with clear instructions on how to do this, because after the latest update I simply can’t figure out how the Translate function works on 2D objects.
