-Press and hold "shift" or "command" key to select multiple objects with object selector.
-Press and hold "shift" or "command" key to select multiple points with point selector.
-Press and hold "shift" or "command" key to select multiple layers.
-To add new control point on the path, select object with point selector, right button click on the position you want to place the new point, select "Add Point" menu item.

Ratings and Reviews
See AllExpress means crippled
The express moniker means you could spend time working on a project but you can’t export or use it. I tried vectorizing a bitmap and found the app wouldn’t let me do anything with it. Upon attempting to save my work, it gave a long list of what I cannot do with this program so I promptly deleted the app and posted this review. Telling me about reduced functionality would have been better at any other point in the workflow, instead of at the end when I tried saving.
how do I even edit something?
It took me a while to figure out I had to close the path before the pen tool would turn off. Apparently I have to draw closed shapes, not just curves. Anyway, then I wanted to select the thing I just drew and edit it -- but the select tool doesn't work, dragging a box doesn't work, cmd-A doesn't work -- so what am I supposed to do? Went to website to watch an instructional video but there's no voice on the darned things. I was pretty excited when I opened this up, but unfortunately it doesn't come with enough clues how to use it...
Incredible but difficult
This works in native svg, and yes, for some people that does matter.
I was able to open an svg, change it and save it again. The results had a similar structure to the original svg. This was great. Extra editor details were added and the coordinates changed a bit even though I didn’t touch some of these structures..
Other applications that are not native svg add extra groupings and move a lot of the g (a div for svg) around. For those editors I could export once and not edit again. With iVinci, I could use it iteratively, manually tweak the svg, and then open in ivince again. Granted, my images were on the simpler side and it may not work for extremely large graphics, but I mostly use ivinci for the individual files and “linked” in the images.
The tutorials are nice, and just show how much power is in the app, but it is very difficult to get a grasp of the features. I guess I have the same problem with photoshop and pixelmator, so it may just be the nature of the beast.
I have a post clean up process written in ruby to remove the extra comments, and use svgo (a nodejs) script to clean up other features. All in all I’m very happy with the program, just wish it were a little easier to work with.
