Illustrator CC - shape tool won't forms

I just Illustrator, having been a long-time user of PS, and the interface is driving me crazy because I have the impression that perfectly intuitive actions are not functional - but now I'm wondering if there is just something wrong with my computer, because what should probably be the simplest tool does not work properly.

So basically, when I select the tool, then click and drag and let go so that my desired proportions are formed, the tool exit the (lack of a technical term)-is moving-mode, where the sides are highlighted and you can see the anchor points. I tried pressing enter, shift, "m", right click, but nothing works. As soon as I try to use the tool to create an additional form, the original sketch disappears, because the record form as a finished object. I watched the tutorials on how to use the shape tool and none of them say a few words on manually deselect the tool in order to get the desired shape, and when I click right it isn't an option deselect that would keep the form of tact, anyway. Someone has an idea what is happening?

Thank you!

    Your objects punch must be in a large group; It will cut through all that is below.

    Create the shape you want to cut and set it to black Uni. Select your group and your form and (in the transparency palette), click make mask.

    Uncheck the Clip, and then return to the palette.

    I rarely use the shape tools, but today I needed a rectangle. I clicked on the rectangle tool, expecting that I had used previously.

  • The custom shape tool - can I make the line thicker?

    I use PSE 10 and trying to insert a circular form, I can add an image in various locations. The custom shape tool includes a circle that would be ideal for this purpose, except that I can't find a way to make the line thicker.

    Is it possible to do this please?

    Thanks for your help, John

    You can use a contour layer Style to go around 'thick '.

    Go in layer > layer Style > Style settings and check the stroke

    You can adjust the size at any time by double-clicking the fx on the thumbnail of the layer to bring up the Style settings.

  • The shape tool free pen CS 5 redraws my line!

    I'm willing to follow a path of frizzy very accurate my sketch with the tool pen in free form, I draw fairly accurate, perfect look, BUT he then decided to redraw after completing of the fourth and the line is a new rendered as straight or smooth in some areas, that's not what I wanted to

    I a.5 sensitivity setting which is as precise as you can get, I think.

    is there a way to get around this?


    I don't want to have to switch to illustrator just to vectorize the image, but it looks like I have to

    the pen in PScs5 updates are great, but taking total capacity followed by 1 to 1, I hope I do just something wrong.

    Sounds like your using the pen tool not the pen tool free-form. However, the pen tool in free form seems smooth thing. You can also try the tool pencel and brush, that they work for you also.

    Yes, it's my mistake, I didn't quite understand you.

    If what said Monika is correct and you reinstalled I then you probably have it still defined in this way in your preferences.

    You can go to the Illustrator > Preferences > General > (and change the angle of the constraint to 0º but if it's already at 0º, then you can then quit Illustrator and this

  • Custom shape tool

    I had to upgrade to Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 and cannot find the custom shape tool .

    I'm specifically looking for the "Star".

    Something is not loaded in this version of Photoshop?

    Should be.  If you select the custom shape tool, click the shape and then drop two small or large list, will feature bands in alphabetical order.

    [EDIT]  I think that it is easier to find under the 'short list '.

  • When I draw small shapes, Photoshop automatically close forms when I up my pen away. [was: had photoshop]

    When I draw small shapes, photoshop automatically close forms when I up my pen away.

    Here is a video that you can see what I mean... What should I do? I am unable to draw details at the moment.

    I use it on a WACOM - Cintiq 22HD 22 "touchscreen tablet, I tried to reproduce the problem on GIMP, SAI and artrage and it doesn't have this problem, so I don't think it's my tablet...

    https://onedrive.live.com/?CID=3F3764AFB419C1EE & ID = 3F3764AFB419C1EE. 3329 & v = 3

    I hope that someone in this beautiful community has seen this before and you can help me :-)

    OK, problem solved...

    For others, this issue please check the following:

    Try to draw the mouse instead of the stylus to help looking for failures, (this issue is not with the mouse for me), this will tell you if it's to do with the settings of the brush or pen/hardware that you are using. Check with another software to see if the issue is there as well, GIMP (free) and Samson (free trial). For me, these programs do not have this problem, but that had fallen to the way that adobe uses the Tablet and stylus (Wacom API) differently.

    Try to re - install, (I tried to reinstall the drivers, I had and re-installing Photoshop that did not help, but it can help you).

    DIFFICULTY:

    Found a new set of through Wacom drivers, which are aged for a few weeks... installed them and restarted and now the problem has disappeared.
