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.

    Or you can choose the pen tool (g), set the padding to zero and the race to what you want, then draw a path, then press U twice to reveal all of the properties that have been changed for the layer, and then click Add (top-right) and select Connect the tracks.

    To make the race work just animate the start or end point and sent to paint on original or reveal original or normal.

  • How to continue the drawing with the pen tool

    Hello

    Let's say that I start to draw an image with the pen tool. Something happens 1/2 through the work of track and I need to stop the trace. How I later come back and start the trace of my last point and continue to the end. Now, all I get is new anchor points and lines that do not join the original track. Thank you

    To resume adding segments to a pre-existing open path with the pen tool:

    1. Hover over the endpoint of the path. A slash mark appears next to the cursor.
    2. Click on the endpoint.
    3. Continue to add the anchorPoints.

    It is not necessary first to select the path (but it should be).

  • Drawing with the pen tool or the line Segment tool

    Hello

    I have need of tips and tricks to draw the design of a singlet. What is the way most appropriate for the task? What should I draw the line one by one, or create a model brush to draw? Please refer to the image as an attachment for a better understanding. Thanks in advance.

    There is a lot to address the issue. Myself, I will draw all the basic shapes with the pen and shape tools (there really only 5 different forms in the main design), application of rounded corners effect according to the needs and duplication/reflection needed to reproduce the layout. So I "would make the cuts" on the forms by using additional objects... many positioned with step & repeat and/or mixture... and apply Pathfinder operations.

  • Draw freehand with the pen tool

    Hi guys,.

    I'm quite new in illustrator and my question is: I can't do on the fly of drawing with the pen tool.  When I click on the pen tool, it comes with little x sign beside him.  Is it not possible drawing freehand with the pen tool?  If so, how can I remove this pen cursor x?

    Thank you very much

    Try the pencil or brush tools. They allow freehand drawings. The pen tool is really reserved for Bézier drawing.

    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.

  • Help please with the pen tool! :)

    I'm trying to draw a building with the pen tool.

    I want that every surface (form?) to a new layer, but I want to use the angle of the previous shape to start and complete the new form so that they are distinct, but join perfectly.

    I tried to use the transform tool to create forms I need and align them next to another form, but I don't know how

    to make 'snap' to the shape on the other layer.

    I use Photoshop CC.

    I was trying to search online, but finding this difficult issue of Word correctly in google to be honest.

    Thanks in advance! I hope this makes sense.

    I must say I want the forms remain separated.

    Yes, they would be all on separate layers.  You would use only part of the last shape to start the next to ensure perfect alignment.

    Illustrator is a nod to the Point.  It always annoyed me that Photoshop does not handle the snap with the pen or free transform tool.  :-(

  • Masking with the pen tool creates unwanted cropping

    Adobe Premiere Pro CC - 2015.4 version 10.4.0 (30) build

    Operating system - OS X 10.11.6

    Sequence/images - images of reflex digital H.264 in a 1920 x 1080, 16:9, 29.97 FPS

    I'm adding a chart and try to hide a file HAVE with the pen tool. As soon as I click on the tool pen under the control of opacity effect, a small portion of the image is cropped on the right side. Even when I finished the mask, he trims still on the right side.

    Here is what the chart looks like no mask at all. http://i.imgur.com/CtKbvOD.PNG

    Once I click on the tool to start feather mask, it cultures immediately a small part on the right side. http://i.imgur.com/W5ICaJR.PNG

    Even when I change the mask to make sure the mask is not touching the graphic, it cultures still a small portion. http://i.imgur.com/zNTGQ60.PNG

    Here's a short video showing what I want my mask to do (with keyframes) and you can still see the cropped part. https://youtu.be/Sy-Fx4YUc1g

    I restarted the program, re-import the file, delete the chart out my calendar and it added on. Remove the mask and tried again.

    I am at a loss here, but feel like there is something simple that I'm missing. Did anyone had this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks for your help.

    Is the file have identical to the sequence value.

  • Follow-up with the pen tool

    Hi, I am trying find an animal of comics with the pen tool.  How to start and stop without messing up the design, when you start in a new location within the design, if that makes sense.

    Thank you

    Erica

    Erica,

    To start a new path, rather than continue the current, you must pass the tool pen for something else and back again. You can do this by using the hotkeys with no mousing hand and hold the mouse and your attention (more or less) in position.

    P's Pen, the switch from the simplest is to press O and P and then you can start the new path (O is the reflection, but who is not serious in this respect).

  • Sharp point with the pen tool

    I make a mask with the pen tool, but I can't understand how to connect 'pointed' to a curved line; I know how do either straight lines or curves, but how to connect to sharp curves?

    Hold down the CTRL key when you move the Bezier handle.  This it break so you can get the acute angles.  The acute angles of Dave however cannot be broken... hehe.  Dave just joke.

  • Cannot change a video Clip with the pen tool

    Hello

    I imported video and audio clips to the first, but I can't edit video clips with the pen tool. No line appears on the clip in the timeline panel. However, the audio clips are great and I can use the tool pen on those. Why no line does not appear on the video clips? How to make it stand?

    Hey Lee,

    do not understand what you mean. On video clips in the past the line seems just when I put the video files in the timeline. I don't see them now, how can I get this line back so that I can manually disappear with the pen tool?

    With the extended track, go into the settings menu to display timeline (the key) and select "See the video keyframe."

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you
