• The path segments and anchor point conversion

  Once again, coming from CorelDraw background, working with paths and their anchor in Illustrator, seems me very little practice, but hey, I'm willing to learn. However, I could not find how to get this Illustrator basic functionality, and oh boy I searched a lot. So, here we go, maybe you guys can give me a hint.

  Basically, in CorelDraw, anchor points can be: cusp point, smooth or symmetrical and the correspondence path segments can be lines or curves, all of these can be set by little fast individually and for me somehow normal.

  

  Now in illustrator, I know how to use convert tool for shwitch to a smooth point to a corner anchor point or the other way around. But many times, after his conversion to a point angle, I would like to have the posibility to do one or the other line segments of a path or curve. How can I do this in Illustrator?

  It is also possible to reproduce the functionality of symmetrical knot in Illustrator, which is specific for an anchor point handles, are the same length, move synchronized and always 180 deg apart.

  Thank you and sorry if my questions are obvious, I can't find my energetic path in Illustrator.

  I'm really sorry for this announcement.

  Don't apologize. Your points are not invalid.

  Fact, it's simply, Illustrator does not provide an explicit anchor type that assures the tangency between the right and a segment of the curve (your screenshot third in your initial post). Draw is done. The fact Freehand (called connector Points). No Illustrator.

  Illustrator does not provide an adequate means for retrieving a single handful of anchor point. Allowing you to win almost end up disrupting the curvature of the adjacent section.

  Illustrator does not constraints anchors to symmetric handles of the same length. You can do this initially convert result to slip with the tool, or (recently) click the button convert to smooth in the control panel. But even once, there no special anchor type to ensure that the symmetry continues with future adjustments.

  If you continue to study carefully the differences, you will find several omissions similar and/or limitations in interface of Bezier path of Illustrator, for taken-for-granted things in other programs. For example, you cannot compel a length of handle adjustment (sliding) to the current angle. It's always been like that. The Illustrator Bezier interface is worse in their class. Too many tools; too few features.

• Access Point Director conversion tool

  Hello

  Sometimes I want to just change the point of corner smooth or vice versa just by using the direction selection tool. So it is possible to use a keyboard shortcut to access momentarily steering Point conversion tool while using the direct Selection tool without having to come and go in the tools of? I work in the Windows 10. Thank you.

  Not exactly.

  

  Instead, use the pen tool.

  Cmd (Ctrl) will pass temporarily to the last selection tool used.

  Option (Alt) will pass you temporarily to the anchor Point tool.

• I can edit the Bézier handles symmetrically with Anchor Point tool?

  In CC when using the pen tool on PC, I like the way that you press Alt and Anchor Point tool allows to modify Anchor Points and paths on the fly. But to convert an anchor point in the curve, the Bézier handles soar symmetrically compared to start but after letting go, I can only go back and modify the handles independently using this tool who loses the symmetry and therefore the sweetness in the anchor point

  Is it possible to edit the Bézier handles symmetrically using this tool after the initial conversion of the corner anchor to smooth?

  Thank you

  N °

  If you want to change the handles symmetrically, so that they are uninterrupted - direct face-to-face and the same length, you have to start over - drag - click on the anchor with the anchor Point tool.

  I don't think you should use the Alt key

  After that, assuming that both handles are uninterrupted, you can click drag with the direct Selection (white arrow) tool on the end of handles and the curve will remain smooth as handles to remain intact.

  so in short, use the direct Selection tool (press and hold Ctrl), if you want to change unilaterally, without breaking the 2 handles.

  Can be useful for checking-

• Conversion of anchor points

  Are there ways to convert anchor beyond the tool points convert to an anchor? It allows to convert them to the corners or go out and have a rounded corner. I want to be able to individually adjust both sides, or just to have a corner on the half, which can be done with the pencil tool, but that is awkward.

  There are buttons to convert in the control panel.

  When you draw with the Pen, while dragging to place an inflection, you can press the AltKey to move the handle under the cursor regardless.

  Using the conversion tool, after slipping retracted handles off an anchorPoint, mouseup, and then drag one of the handles. Otherwise, click on one of the handles to retract.

  Try this.go in the menus. Select cc illustrator > preferences > display selection & anchor > then make sure the box "activate the rubber band for" the pen tool is not selected. Then press OK. It should work.

• How to draw a line (with the line segment tool) then draw another line, from those previous anchor point. When I try immediately draw another line on the other anchor lines it try to turn instead.

  I'm following a course of basic fundamental illustrator on Lynda. The video of "draw straight lines" is troubling me. They draw a line with the line segment and then draw another line coming out the anchor point at an angle.

  Here's where it is troubling me - when I try to drag a line to the anchor point trying to transform the first line, I drew. (the line cursor turns into a selection tool) I can't draw another line connecting the first.

  Advice would be great because it's driving crazy me.

  See you soon,.

  Yes, it is irritating. You must clear the previous line first. If you want to make sure that both ends are perfectly aligned, start by turning on the guides. If you want two lines to be part of the same way, you should use the tool pen instead.

• Why Illustrator change my anchor points and size race randomly when I'm using the tool pen?

  Why Illustrator change my anchor points and size race randomly when I'm using the tool pen?

  k,

  It looks like you might be haunted by the Align attribute to the ghost of the pixel grid.

  You can select the entire document and untick finally align on the pixel grid in the Transform palette and uncheck also align new objects to the pixel grid in the options of the Launcher. It is crucial that the checkbox is disabled completely, not just a - which also count as ticked.

  It may be noted that even align with the pixel grid is cleared with all the selected objects, align new objects to the pixel grid is checked as the creation of new objects will result in these new objects being aligned, even when they are created from existing objects that can happen with Pathfinder operations.

  You can avoid the types of documents with the default (RGB for the web and other) or change the default value for such documents.

• Brush & tool add shape task stray anchor points

  Hi all

  I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem as me. I use a fully licensed version of Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 on OS X 10.9.5 and having a problem with the Brush tool and the brush of Blob.

  When drawing freehand with the brush or the blob Brush tool and make a curve it often (but not always) place anchor points in weird positions which means that I often get things once again, in which is annoying when it comes to a complex line. I thought at first it must be my Wacom pen but I tried with my mouse and the same thing happened. I have attached a screenshot that shows the problem. The line in the corner should be smooth, but instead, he created a strange bulge. As you can see that it does not happen with the pencil tool, so I guess it has something to do with how judges Illustrator where anchor points should appear when drawing freehand.

  I tried to change loyalty to 0, but it does not help.

  I would be very happy to help with this.

  Thank you very much

  Gareth

  

  GS,

  It's the Blob issue resolved by Kurt with the effect > Distort & Transform > Zig Zag (setting the size to ridges by Segment and from 0 to 100 (you can get away with less, but should not be)).

  In your version, it has probably been moved to the appearance (click on the announcement of the stroke) palette.

• The tolerance setting works for the "Convert anchor point tool"? Are there other ways?

  Hello
  I wonder if the setting "tolerance"in the preferences only works for the arrow tools?» I put it to 8 pixels and it seems OK for these tools, but when I use the tool 'Convert Anchor' point it is incredible difficult to hit a point for me. It seems that I have to hit a point exactly one pixel, which is hard with a screen high resolution.
  My PC keeps beeping all the time and I'm getting crazy on this subject...
  It seems that the framework of tolerance doesn't work here, I'm right? There are other parameters that could help me to work with this tool?

  Sorry if this is the kind of a beginner question, I have much experience with PS and LR, but not so much with Illustrator (and I couldn't find anything useful in the internet).

  Thank you

  I agree, it is sometimes difficult to click on the sweet spot. Here are 3 proposals:

  1. Pay attention to the cursor icon. This will change when you are on a point anchor or direction.
  2. Try to turn on 'bearings commented. They can be a nuisance, but they are sometimes useful.
  3. Use the button "convert" on the Options bar. They may take a little longer but they are full-proof, moreover, you can convert or remove several selected points simultaneously using this method.

  I can't move the anchor points on a shape, I've drawn with the pen tool.  There are also small circles with a point in them (think focus), who they are and they are part of my problem? If I open a new document and draw randomly everything is good, no anchor and focus points behave.

  Bubble icons are the widgets corner. You can drag inward to round the corner. They are not part of your problem. If you want to hide them, select view > hide corner Widget. I have a hotkey defined for this menu item.

  If you see multiple bullseyes, you may have your set with the shape selected, that would prevent you from being able to move individual anchor points. Deselect the shape first, and then move the anchor with the direct Selection tool.

• Pen Tool/Anchor Point help

  I often draw/trace things by using the pen tool.  I start with an anchor (A) then click to make another (B), then I drag the first handle away from the anchor point to a Bezier curve.  The problem comes when I need to continue on the path to another anchor point (C) after the turn.  If I'm not moving the handle 'moved', then he distorts the continuous path to the next anchor (C).  What I did to remedy this frustration is switch to the direct Selection tool and then move the handle 'crept' over the previous anchor point (B).  Please tell me there is a more easy/fast way to do...

  Thanks in advance!
