Behavior of strange line Segment

Similar Questions

• Line segment tool design everywhere - why?

  With the help of Illustrator CS6 on a MacBook Pro.  Very strange behavior of the line segment tool - when I click and do slip, I don't get a segment of the place where I started at the point where I finished.  Instead, I get several line segments, each with one end where the then slide began it and the other left ends in a trail that runs through every point I did drag the mouse through.  (It's easier to show than to describe.  (See below.)

  The polygon tool works normally.  Therefore, the spiral tool and the pen tool.  But the line segment tool, arc tool, polar grid tool and tool grille rectangular all make this "creeping" effect - very annoying.

  How can I stop this from happening?

  Here is a picture showing what I mean:

  

  (It's actually a pretty cool effect if that's what I wanted, but it is not.)

  ... No, my tilde key seems fine.  Any other ideas?

  That's the problem, Illustrator think you press the tilde key, doesn't matter if you're not or if the key is fine. Apparently something is not very good with the entrance of this key in Illustrator that could be attributed entirely to Illustrator but in any case the diagnosis should be in this direction and Steve's suggestion is a good first step.

• Cannot be joined lines when using the line Segment tool

  So unfortunately, I've updated to the latest version of Illustrator Cc (V19.2.1). And to my horror, I can no longer draw a line (with the line segment tool) then draw another line, coming from the previous those anchor point. When I try to shoot immediately. He's trying to turn the line rather than create a line joining... anyway to change that or am I stuck with it?

  (Also, I use windows currently..)

  I don't know if you can say/see/see in the video, but here's the process that I'm following departure using the line-drawing the line-> > segment trying to draw a line from that anchor point (and that is the question, when I'm doing it automatically, it assumes I want to transform the line)-> changes to the tool selection and clicks on the line to deselect-> goes back and finishes object, repeating the process.

  Help me please... I'm desperate...

  It is these new life forms, a few disadvantages too with the rectangle tool, ellipse etc. tool.

  to go back to the old behavior

  Object > shape > expand the form, do a deed for him, or do what I did a hotkey (Windows 7).

  Edit > keyboard shortcuts > Menu commands > object > shape > expand the form , then in the first box to the right click in it, select and press a key on the keyboard, I choose F9, OK and name.

  It's an extra step, having to have a finger on the mouse and the other on the keyboard for each line. but I can't think otherwise.

• Keep not selected (\) line Segment tool

  Hello, I use the latest version of Adobe Illustrator CC and can not start a new line with the line of a previous line segment tool.

  If I start again from one edge of the line point, move from my line from the line is still selected.

  In the previous version of Illustrator od the line was comic and disabled instantly what was allowing me to continue to draw the line on the edges of the first.

  Line Segment tool does not include the option 'Keep selected' as the pen or the brush so I can't enable or disable.

  someone has an answer how I could get this line automatically disabled after drawing it?

  Thank you

  If you choose: display > bounding box (Cmd Shift B (Mac) or Ctrl Shift B (Win)), you can continue shooting without moving the line just created.

• Line Segment tool does not select the last line! Why? CC 2015

  I regularly draw several segments on the right with the line Segment tool, then convert them to a live paint. This often requires that lines are tangent or overlapping. In CC 2015 the last segment of the line remains active and the line segment tool switches to a tool "to rotate/move", by drawing a line tangent or closely placed impossible without '' if. '' How can I disable this 'new' and return to the line Segment tool I like in CS 5? Yes, I am trying to embrace the new, he does not cease of themselves in the way of productivity.

  You can not turn it off. Ask us for an option you can disable 'Keep selected', as you can for a brush.

  Feature requests are CC 2015 in the Help menu.

• 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,.
  Kyle

  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.

• Now shift isn't snapping line when you use the line Segment tool

  I could be wrong and it has always been like that, but when I take a shift to rotate a line created by using the line Segment tool turns is more degrees as I thought that it used to. I checked and it works always with the Rectangle tool, but not when I traced a line. Guides and snap to Point are both on.

  Is much more annoying when I'm dragging an end point and it will remain at an ideal level of 90 or 45 angle... but nevertheless it remains valid this angle when I paint, just do not change.

  Matt,

  You are not alone.

• Convert a line segment to a line of pen

  I have a problem with several illustrator files that I get from my students. We use Illustrator to cute objects and some students using the line segment tool to create lines. These lines look like simple lines in illustrator, but after importation in our cute (lasermate v5) software, they become rectangular forms. My quenstion is, if there is a tool or a way to convert these forms in individual lines/box lines.

  I hope that makes sense, English is not my native language

  

  I have a solution. When I save my file and check the box "keep transparency" all lines remain simple lines.

• Anchor points of line Segment

  I want to draw with the line segment tool.  When I want to add a line segment to another segment of line an anchor usually shows upward I know the lines are intertwined with precision.  For some reason any anchor point is not underlined, and the lines are intertwined with precision.  Do I have to activate this feature somewhere?

  funwithphi,

  This looks like a tick toggle view > comments (Ctrl / Cmd + U). You had a mishit keyboard.

• A question pretty basic pen: what do I do when I let the handles in the wrong place and they interfere with the next line segment I want to do?

  What happens to me all the time: I'll be tracked something in AI (CS4, Mac) using the pen tool and I find I left the "handles" in a place that ends up being incompatible with the next line segment I want to do. Generally what happens, is that I made a curve and then I want to do a straight segment, but I can't do it without putting in a strong shot. Like this:

  

  How do I either stop doing this in the first place or correct when it arrives?

  Mary,

  If I (put) understand it, you can just press Alt/Option (so that you are always mousing down) and drag the handle back in the anchor, then let go and click or ClickDrag the next Anchor Point.

• Why can't I apply a gradient fill to a line segment?

  I created a line segment using the line segment tool. Then I changed the brush in arrow. I select the arrow and and drag the gradient shade I want to the described area to change, but it just turns black. I am able to change the arrow to any solid color, but not gradients. I have attached a photo if this will help. Sorry if this is not clear at all. Any help is appreciated!

  I would say just to develop the arrow, and then fill, but that's just me.

• Joining line Segments in CS6

  I paint a simple diamond with one form of rectanlge and multiple line segments.  I've drawn the design, I made sure to connect all segments to the anchor.  When I select all segments and try to join the paths, endpoints or the corners are not smooth.  In other words, some of the end of the segment hanging on the edges...  What I am doing wrong?  Thank you!

  The image below shows the left side of the diamond, where the top together at the bottom...

  

  I think that the problem is the join tab of stroke of the superior shape. Select all of your paths and in the dash Panel, change the type of corner 'Round Join' or 'Bevel Join', or change the "limit" to something smaller, like 2.

  If you need the sharp corner, you will need to make a duplicate of the horizontal line and include it in both sides.

• My line Segment tool does not allow me to draw a horizontal line?

  I must have pushed one or the other button, but I don't know which!

  I use CS5 and now have a small arrow on my tool (as shown in the picutres) line segment:

  

  Since that when I click on update, it just allows me to draw vertical lines, rather than vertical or horizontal.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you in advance!

  This is the cursor in the perspective grid. Disable the perspective grid.

• How do you prevent brush to be re-applied to line segments?

  Hello

  What I'm doing is applying a brush to a line segment, then by dividing the segment of the line upward into pieces of different lengths using anchor points.

  What is happening that the long line segments show the brush perfectly, but the shorter sections are 'crush' the entire brush in a short segment

  If for example I am trying to create a logo with lines drawn by hand - the longest pieces of the logo look perfect with my brush, but the shorter parts are wavy, because the whole brush is being crushed down in the length of the small segment line.

  I already tried the brush options and I tried the options of the selected object. Defining the proportion does not help, because then the small line segments end up thinner than others and if I set the thickness to the top, then I'll be back the same effect.

  Is it possible that I can put the entire length of the line with the brush, while Illustrator is not re - apply the same effect of brush, whenever I have segment the line?

  i.e. cut the line upwards without reapplying the brush to each segment.

  All answers are appreciated!

  Hello

  The line segments must still be modified? Otherwise, you can expand the brush stroke and then use the knife tool to cut to the top of the race.

  (1) create the stroke:

  

  (2) object > expand appearance:

  

  

  (3) use the knife tool to segment the object (option-shift gives you a straight line):

  

  I hope this helps!

• Why the Illustrator line segment tool cannot do a.5 pt?

  Why the Illustrator line segment tool cannot do a.5 pt? When I create a line at 90 ° or 180 ° I can't do the thinner than PT race. 1, even if I create the line first and then try to change his race. When I create a line at any other angle I can make the thickness of line I want to by changing the line weight. What I want is to make the line segments which sont.25 ou.5 pts, but least Illustrator will do is pt 1 even if I select the line or rectangle and try to change a.5 ou.25 pt. This same problem exists with the rectangle tool when I create a rectangle oriented at 90 ° or 180 °, but if I rotate the same rectangle what whatsoever other than 90 ° or 180 ° I have then the possibility to change the thickness less than 1 pt. Any ideas what's happening?

  Select all the objects and in the Panel processing uncheck snap to grid of pixels. Also if you want, uncheck this option for new objects in the transformation Panel menu.
