handle Bezier lost in the closure of path with the tool pen

Can anyone of you teach me please how to avoid losing the first point Bezier handle backward when closing a path with the pen tool?

aiPathClosingBehaviour.jpg

It is a nuisance for a long time for me, but I can't exclude that I simply failed to find the right way to disable this behavior.

In addition, C:

For my own use, I wrote some Javascript AI, JET_CloseSelectedPaths.jsx, which closes a path in the way that narrow box that FreeHand is for pre-existing incoming handles.

Read the descriptions on the page, and you will find a few others in the same collection, which even use workaround for things that FH users take for granted about two decades ago. (Illustrator only devout, of course, should stay away from them because, you know, they use HAVE for a long time, so I should not em.)

  • Handle missing Bizier in the tool pen

    Hi all

    In After Effects, using the pen tool, missing the handle Bizier.

    Any help appreciated.

    My first guess is that you have defined the Rotobezier mask path. To confirm the selection, the pen tool (g button) and then hold the Alt/Option key you hover over a Summit. The pointer turns into the tool convert Vertex and when you click on a drag you will change the tension he on the vertex.

    If this is the case and you want to return to the standard settings of Bezier path, select the mask path by changing the (v) direct Selection tool then by double clicking on a Summit.  Simply right-click on the layer of he and select mask shape and path and uncheck Rotobezier.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    BASIC Edition of masks stuff covered in the help files and explained in community resources, if you enter editing masks or change forms or the pen tool in the search help field at the top right of the AE.

    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:

  • 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 '.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • minimum amount of segments with the tool pen

    I have a really fundamental question using the feather in Flash. Is there a minimum amount of segments (or something I do not) that must be learned in order to fill a polygon, created with the pen. I found in many cases seems to be the closure of the polygon and yet when I go to fill the object it will not fill. I then discovered that the start and endpoints are not "met" (as in Illustrator). The icon turns circle hollow when I get to the starting point (as in Illustrator), but it does not close segments.

    Thank you

    Check if you have your fill color non-empty value. In the properties panel, under fill and stroke.

    After you draw your polygon, select a paint bucket tool (K), select the fill color and click inside the polygon.

    If the form is (from any reason) really not closed, select the tool Selection (V) and check the main menu-> view-> slam-> snap to objects: true.

    Hover over the anchor point not connected until you get a corner next to the cursor icon. Then click on & do drag the point to another point you want to connect with. Snap will ensure that the polygon is closed now.

    Now, you can use the paint bucket tool.

    Hey,.

    I'm splitting both handles on a single anchor point in order to make a corner. How to I pull both handles out of sync (just move one at a time).

    Thank you

    Hi Jason,

    1. Select the anchor with the direct Selection tool, so that you can see its direction handles.

    2. Select the tool Point Director conversion (part of the pen tools group)

    3. click on the end of one of the direction handles, and then drag a bit.

    Direction handles are now "separated" and can be moved individually.
