Dynamic tool pen

I use an iMac, mid 2011, worm 10.11.6 and PS CC, worm 2015.5.0.  I use the tool pen to make a path.  When I place a point and move them the tool to place another point, there is a line (path) which is connected to the first point of the tool pen, as I have the pen tool.  When I look at a tutorial of the pen tool there no line of the first point of the pen tool until you click to place the second point in position.  What causes this difference in the way the pen tool performs? A preference?  Can I change any setting that will allow my work of the tool pen as the tutorials?

Thanks for your help?

Looks like you have elastic checked in the options of the tool to the pen tool.

If so, uncheck the elastic

  • Where is the tool pen?

    It is a very simple question that I can't understand, and this may sound stupid. Where is the tool pen? I'm pretty new to sequels, I used CS6 for a long time but now in DC, I can't find the pen tool, it used to be in a bar on the top and now it is not there. I feel very stupid, and there is probably a very simple answer. I want to make a mask. IM on mac using Adobe after effects 2015.

    the first thing I teach my students is "reset workspace. When you start with the software and it has so many shortcuts you'll ruin things. probably, you don't see the tools Panel. Windows-> work-> reset standard space.

    and if you want, you can use the shortcut 'G '.

  • How do I move the two forms at the same time using the tool pen

    Screen Shot 2016-05-17 at 12.03.13 PM.pngI tried merging groups 1 2 and 3, so they can be handled together. I've grouped them and they merged, but when I try and move with the pen tool they move separately. For my project, I need to be able to change the shape of 12 and 3 using the pen tool, how would I go to do this?

    they set out like a vector Illustrator diagram, I've merged them there and imported, but they always move separately.

    Thanks in advance

    If you work with multiple masters and the tool pen, you use the Ctrl/Cmnd key to change the pen of a selection tool that resembles a small white inverted V. You can drag a selection around multiple points on a path and then hold down the SHIFT key and select more points on a different path. Once selected you release the Ctrl/Cmnd key and when you go near a selected vertex selection tool appears again, but this time it is a small black reverse V. and drag.

    If you want to transform these points then all you have to do is press Ctrl/Cmnd + t when they are selected and you will actually have a better tool paths of transformation you get in Illustrator.

    He is essentially on the functioning of the tool pen in Illustrator if you select the direct selection in artificial intelligence (the key) and then the pen tool (p key) and use the Alt/Option key to switch to the top to convert or Ctrl/Cmnd to direct selection points.

    If you are using multiple forms on a single shape layer, you can do the same by providing that the forms are curves of Bézier or Rotobezier.

    If the paths of the form or masks are on separate layers, you are out of luck. There is no way to change the multiple paths on different layers at the same time. I don't expect that there is a way to do it. Here's a short demo:

    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.

  • Help with the tool pen when moving CS5.1 to CC

    I never use PS, but still did not used to the tool pen in CC, especially when compared to CS5.1.

    I would be eternally grateful if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong or how do things!

    In CS5.1 I could draw a path with the pen tool, then command-drag on the line between two points to change the shape of the path between these two points. In CC when I ordered-drag path of shape changes but made the way across two points, I am working on.

    In CS5.1 only the length of the handles Bezier control altered, in CC length and angle of the altered control handles, which affects the path I want to change.

    So what I am doing wrong? I use the pen and the path a lot and I'll have to go back to CS5.1 to do any series and complex path works because I can not familiarize themselves with the new CC pen tool. Help!

    Also, with the Direct Selection tool selected see if checking force path by dragging in the options toolbar makes a difference.

  • Why the tool pen decided to stop letting shapes on the tour?

    I am tracking a series of squares of aerial images of buildings. After I updated my illustrator, the pen tool decided to stop to let me do this in a clean way. For example, I'm doing a sketch for a shopping centre, a floor plan based. I draw a square, my next shape is a rectangle. I hold SHIFT key to allow the tool pen anchor immediately above one of the anchors of the place. Previously, I would, and everything would be fine. Now I'm doing it, and the second that I create my next point, it forces the anchor first outside the anchor of squares. It also leaves not the features overlap each each other. He moves. So instead of having two squares which affect, suddenly 1pt. Where they touch is now 2pt because moving automatically forms without saying me it. So I get my tool of choice to move the points back where I had originally placed. I have no slam on. In fact, it feels almost as if it is anti slam anchors. With glance on this subject makes it even worse. What is going on?

    Here's an example, let me remind you that all these places are supposed to be of the same width and with a uniform wall. The stylus moves my anchors in all directions.

    How can it be a bug in Rectangles to live when he said that it is using the pen to create the forms?

    Mr Nagoo, I suspect it is because you have "" Align new objects to the grid of pixels"turned on (see the wheel of Transform Panel menu).

  • strangeness tool pen

    Im having a very strange problem with the tool pen when you use it to hide.  I click on my first point, then the second, but after that it turns into adds a Summit.    He then added my new points to the wrong places.  If I do a new it comp sems to work ok but used to work in the computer that I need. Im working with 3d layers and I noticed this happens when Im right with the camera zoomed really far.  If I Zoom out, it seems to be ok.  Why would it be?  I restarted hold SHIFT comm option, but he did not make a difference.   What should I do?

    If this thread is a year old, I found it all in troubleshooting, adding in case it helps others.

    I met the same problem as Arrakis, and I just thought of it: I had the layer I drew the mask akin to another layer that had been set to scale upward, so the value of effective scale of the layer, I was trying to hide was very small (but the largest scale of parenting). AE is obviously the treatment my layer as if it were 2% of full size, so all clicks past the other feather are passed to the tool adds-one Summit, despite the fact that the image is enlarged on the screen.

    I am sure that the issue was raised in the scenario the OP because 3D only to have the camera zoom before really far, the layer in question should be put on the really small scale.

    This happened to me several times in the past, and I've always been mystified, where this is happening to someone else, that's the problem. For me, the fix was again unparent, draw of the mask, then parent. For 3D, you may wish to hide first, then resize it down.

  • How to extrude a path created with the tool pen

    Hi all

    I created a path with the tool pen (part Brown) and now I want to extrude, but output is the set containing the block (see image below)

    Now, I have tried everything, from the grouping of transparent traces, etc., but nothing works.

    How to extrude my way?

    Thank you

    Illustrator_Extrude.PNG

    It is because you applied an effect hatched the path before extrusion it. You are effectively 'extrusion' the raster image, which is a rectangle.

    Don't, don't. Apply the frame effect to a rectangle and store that as a symbol. Give the desired path to extrude a simple filling and extrude. Then use the veneering of 3D effect feature to map the symbol to the desired surface.

  • New path-layers of all lines with the tool pen?

    Hello! I am currently using Illustrator CS6 as a test version, and when I use the tool pen to make a beaver (school work), it all end in a single layer. I want to have a new layer-path of each line with the pen tool, so I can remove rows from the layer panel too. For the moment, it's a layer that has a picture of a beaver, and I can't see the individual lines that I drew. When I used CS5 recently I had no such problem.

    There is a setting that I can change or does have something to do with the news of CS6?

    If you want to see a 'sex' for each object changes the display of the layer panel by choosing Options from the Panel menu in the layer panel. In the lower part of the Panel options window, make sure that groups and objects are both checked. You will then see a 'sex' for each object.

    I quote 'sex' here because technically they aren't the layers. They resemble layers and are in the layer panel, but they do not exactly allow options that allow actual layers. You can select and move objects in the Panel this way however.

  • Question of behaviour tool pen

    When I want to draw a line in the vicinity or exactly on a trajectory of filtration the pen tool don't sart a new path access but still the one 'old '.

    Read the help:

    Disable or temporarily replace the automatic pen tool

    You can temporarily replace or disable the automatic change of the addition of anchor or delete Anchor Point tool.

    • To ignore temporarily switching, hold SHIFT as you position the tool pen on the selected path or an anchor point. This is useful when you want to start a new path at the top of an existing path. To prevent the shift to compel the pen tool, release shift before you release the mouse button.
    • To turn off change, choose the command Edition > Preferences > General (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences > general (Mac OS), and select Disable Auto Add/Remove.
    The pen pointer changes between X and / when I'm at a point nearby, a little further is no problem, but I want to be able to start a new path where I want to start.
    With or without shift etc. filtration continues by clicking on "new". What I am doing wrong?

    Version?

    At least through CS3, the pref to remove auto does not affect auto-join infuriating behavior of the Pen, which is what it looks like you're maybe strugging with.

    There is an incredibly clumsy substitution for that, too:

    Suppose you want to start a new path where a not selected (sheesh! Which is brilliant the idea was that a pen should DESELECTED path editing?) existing path begins or ends. MouseDown beyond a distance of magnetism where you want than to be; Press and hold the SPACEBAR while you drag to the location where you point it to be; then mouseup. The resulting will be the beginning of a new path, instead of auto - join the pre-existing not selected path.

    I don't know if this hellish behavior has finally fixed in CS4, or if a toggle preferably was provided, but I seriously doubt.

  • In using the tool pen as a Guide?

    Is it possible to use the tool pen of freedom as a guide? I used the "Auto layer blending" and there are some shifts. If I use the tool pen of freedom at the edge where the mixture was made. After I correct misalignments, I want to get rid of the sketch of the pen tool. I tried to put the pen tool on its own layer, but when I deleted the layer, the pen marking tool was still there. Is it possible to get rid of the marking pen after resolving misalignments?
