Brush & tool add shape task stray anchor points

• Why brush STROKE now have so many anchor points?

  I'm running Illustrator CC 19.1.1 64-bit and in one of the recent updates, they have changed something on the Brush tool. I used to be able to zoom and make little lines and circles with the Brush tool which would make then with a handful of anchor points that I could easily manipulate later if I needed. Now, I do the same features with the same brushes on the same level with the same canvas size zoom and the same lines are rendered with like 40 anchor points which makes almost impossible traits to manipulate later the the direct Selection tool.

  I know I can object > path > simplify, but I really want to have to do each stoke. I think that what I'm looking for is a way to change the density of sensitivity or anchor point or something like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  And you have double-clicked the Brush tool and adjusted the "faithfulness"?

• Brush tool loses shape

  Just recently, my lost Brush tool he named form. It is converted to a set of crosshairs. Now it is unclear to what form you use, or placement. I had in the driver updates and updated my video card drivers. I got forms for a few minutes. But then he turned to the line of sight again. Ideas to help me

• Illustrator cc 2014 adds anchor points to the guides

  What is happening with the Illustrator CC 2014! I placed a guide for where to add a cliked of anchor point on the Add anchor point tool, but when I select the object I want to add the anchor point that adds an anchor point to the guide! so I blocked the thinking guide that would solve the problem, that it is then for me a poster that says attention please use on a segment of the path it still considers that the guide is a path!

  TIF,

  Are you sure that you select the path, not the guid?

  Maybe it's time to look at the list.

  The following is a general list of things you can try when the question is not in a specific file (you tried/made some of them already). 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

  (1) close Illy and open again.

  (2) restart the computer (you can do that up to 3 times);

  (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

  4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);

  5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

  Even worse, you can:

  (6) uninstall, run the vacuum cleaner tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and then reinstall.

• Paint Brush tool vs. Pen: why both?

  Hi all

  I just downloaded CC. animate happy with most of the changes, but we really intrigues me: the paint brush tool.

  Not to be confused with the Brush tool (which is still to animate it) Unlike the brush, paint brush tool tool is not draw with lock fills, pressure and tilt sensitivity or brush modes (Normal, fills, behind, selection, inside).

  The closest relative of the paint brush tool is actually the pencil, with a few differences: it can make custom vector brushes and draw like fillings but missing modes of pencil.

  My question is: why have both? Why didn't the Animate team just to extend the functionality of the pencil tool to make custom vector brushes? That's backward compatibility? Ease of use? Technical constraints?

  It's a small complaint, but I find it strange that the pencil can do everything from the paint brush tool can do with just an additional command. (You can change a pencil line vector brush in the properties panel, after it is drawn, and you can change a pencil line to a fill to change-> menu form)

  Anyone want to tell me?

  The paint brush tool is essentially the pencil, with 3 differences

  1. With the Brush tool, you can draw with brushes vector art from the library of the brush. (Object drawing mode will be fixed to) You can't do that with the pencil tool directly; Instead you have to draw a line, select it, and then apply a vector art brush in the menu dropdown style in the properties panel. (Note: you need to double click brushes vector art found in window--> library brush before they are added to the drop-down list Style)
  2. With the Brush tool, you can draw as fills or lines using the draw as fill the checkbox in the properties panel. You can do it with the pencil as well, but you will need to draw the line, select it, then click on change--> form--> convert lines in fillings to do the same thing.
  3. The overall behavior of the paint brush tool acts like a hybrid between the smooth pencil tool and straighten modes. On the one hand, the paint brush tool creates optimized lines similar to the smooth pencil mode; on the other hand, it performs similar to the mode to straighten shape recognition. If you draw a rectangle, an arc or ellipse, Animate will convert your drawing an exact shape. Recognition of shape can be adjusted under Edit--> preferences--> drawing--> recognize the forms.

  In summary, the paint brush tool seems to be a new and improved pencil tool and the pencil tool is kept for legacy reasons. The paint brush tool is not the different modes as the pencil tool, but personally, I find the lines made with the paint brush tool to have tasks less problem than the pencil tool. The pencil tool creates lumpy line segments or hyper-redresse light arcs; the paint brush tool strikes a nice balance. With recognition of shape and Vector Art brushes added to the mix, the paint brush tool is an asset.

  So in conclusion: change your shortcut 'Y' for the paint brush tool.

• I lost the visibility of the Adobe Illustrator CC anchor points

  With the help of my direct selection tool I want to manipulate anchor points, but I don't see them unless I have more than one vacuum and it becomes a white box... How to lose visual of points?

  Press the H key to hide/show the anchor points. The Brush tool must be active when you do this.

  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.

• Add anchor point tool snaps at the intersection

  I find in Illustrator CC 2014 that when you use the Add anchor point on the 2 paths that overlap, a guide to smart aligns is no longer about to intersection even with hanging of the options under tension. Does anyone else know this or I missed something?

  This use to work in the previous CC and CS6.

  Hello Jason,

  Please update your AICC 2014 2014 AICC version 18.1. This bug has been fixed in this update. Please let us know your results.

  Thank you!

• Moving anchor points and the whole shape gets distorted to change the line weight

  I have a fairly simple drawing that I drew in a larger size, so I could be more specific with it, and now I want to reduce up to the finished size and thicken the line, but when I make the line thicker, my anchor points are moving and the whole drawing is distorted.

  Using Adobe Illustrator of 24 years, I never saw that happen. When I click on the "up" arrow in the stroke palette a lot of time to gradually increase the thickness of line, I can watch made anchor 'walk' around like my shape gets distorted.

  If I go to the place a numeric value for the thickness of line, it doesn't.

  However, if I use the scale tool to shrink the design down to the size of 10% or 20%, or whatever, with traits of the scale and effects UNCHECKED, yet once, move the anchor points and the drawing is distorted.

  It's all about a brand new installation of Illustrator CS 6 for Mac (although I use CS 6 for about 2 years now, my hardrive crashed this past weekend and I had to reinstall everything).

  I missed a little box somewhere that I never saw elsewhere that is what actually happen?

  This post editing to add:

  Also, some of these objects in my drawing I cannot change the race less than 1 point thickness. If I choisis.5 ou.25 pt in the context menu, or even if I enter the numeric value, it jumps to 1 point. Other objects in the drawing are not.

  These objects in question are "rounded rectangle" forms I used the scissors tools to cut and then used the "join" command to put them as well as other forms that have been "scissored"as well."

  All forms of "Ellipse" and "Rounded Rectangle" that I have left intact do not exhibit this problem with stroke and distortion.

  You are being bitten by the Align-to - pixel grid. Select the entire document and go to the transformation Panel and turn off snap to Pixel - grid at the bottom of the Panel. Then go into the rollout (small triangle in the upper-right) and disable align objects on the pixel grid.

• Add Remote Anchor Points?

  I often need to add anchor points to a shape when I bring it in Cinema 4 d to extrude and deform.

  The object > path > add Anchor Points only adds an additional anchor between the existing anchor points, doubling the density every time his race.

  It's not ideal for shapes with segments very long and very short segments. Short segments have not need subdividing, but long segments need several subdivisions.

  Is there a script or plug-in that can add anchors, based on the distance? Such as: Add an additional anchor point to a path every 10 mm?

  

  Use the scratch effect. Set the size to 0

• How to start to draw with the pen tool, a different anchor point?

  It's as simple as that. How can I change the anchor point where I paint. I use the tool on Illustrator CS6 pen on a tablet.

  Thank you!!!

  for8aby,

  Guides are your friends, depending on whether you want to continue A) the shape of the path (so far) last anchor Point or B) create a new path starting with an internal Anchor Point with the pen tool:

  (A) right click/ClickDrag on/off the last anchor Point;

  (B) click anywhere near the internal Anchor Point, press space, and move the point on the path ( pathcommented for example) until you're here

  (Smart Guides say anchor), and then drag the handles, as appropriate.

  After that, you can continue as ususal.

• Eraser tool connects the anchor points on a path

  Hi all.  I am working on a logo and can't clear the path of a circle.

  Here's what I did:

  First of all, I did an ellipse, then cut a piece of it with scissors so that it looks more like a 'C '.  Then, I used the pen tool to draw an upside-down 'v' in intersection with the circle. I'm trying to erase a little bit of the upper part of the circle, to make it line up with the vertical line of the "v", but whenever I try to use the eraser, he will eventually draw a line that connects two ends of the shape's anchor points, I just created.  Can anyone help?

  This is the image:

• How to add an anchor point on the exact spot that it overlaps with another line?

  See the screenshot, I added.

  I have tried everything just by adding one with smart guides on, then adding an anchor point, whenever I saw 'intersect', then remove anchor point that remains but then I get another situation (see screenshot 2). How can I make them connect properly?

  Kind regards

• 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-
