Illustrator - erase a straight line (not windows Mac).

Illustrator - I am trying to change a logo so it has smooth edges, I'm familiar with the help of the shift of a starting point and the end point of a segment of the eraser in Photoshop, but is there something easy like this in Illustrator with the help of a mac?  I saw the windows forum response suggesting the SHIFT + gum can be done on a windows platform, but this does not work on my mac.

Any HELP? It is certainly a simple answer?

Yes, it's weird that it behaves exactly like Photoshop.

On a Mac, you can hold down the SHIFT key before start you erasing, to impose him a constraint to a straight line. If you start to clear, then hold down the SHIFT key, it has no effect.

The other thing you can try, which is not well known, is to hold down the Option key (even once, before start you erasing), which allows you to erase by marquee. Try it!

  • Shift-click with the spot removal tool does not remove the straight lines

    Hello, I am after a tutorial on Lynda.com, which demonstrates the use of the spot removal tool to remove a task from a straight line.  Click on one of the ends of the line, hold the SHIFT key and click on the other end of the line.  Pouf!  Nothing happens.  The technique works very well for me in Photoshop.

    Hi, I have a student subscription and have had the intelligence of worse trouble... : Flash. Each time it updates the tool brush stops working and draws only straight lines. I use a dual monitor set up with Windows 8 and a Cintiq 13HD. I tried to change my display settings to 100% which was recommended as a solution - it worked the first time, but no longer works.

    Thank you very much, but when I tried this, my pen wouldn't work, just the mouse. Anyway, I changed it to what it was before (extended desktop computers) and it seemed to work. I don't know what makes the work because I had not tried before making changes today, but fingers crossed it stays like that!

  • Why 15.1.0 Illustrator can't draw a straight line?

  • Segments of straight lines do not align with grid

    Whenever I draw a straight line segment, it is not lined up on the grid, it is slightly to the left or right side of the line of the grid. (you can see on the line down to the right in the picture).  It is annoying because I can't get a bow to align properly with the segment of the line, as you can see in the picture there is a cliff on the bow where I want to align perfectly on the line segment. I have snap to grid on passing, but I tried with him off and it still does the same thing.

    I tried object-path-join with the line and the CRA chosen, but all that is move the whole arc to the left. I tried to recover the anchor points of the line and move them to the middle and I can get one end to align with the line of sight of the grid, but as soon as I move the anchor in front on the line to straighten out, all snaps back to being slightly to the left or right.

    Someone has ideas of how to do to get my path of line to be directly on the grid, so it is aligned with the CRA?

    Any chance you have snap to grid of pixels as well... Check the transformation Panel.

  • [AIR] File not found MAC OS but works in Windows

    Hi all

    I have a htmlFolder in my 'src' that contains html files. "What I do is, that, when running, I return the HTML of the file in < mx:HTML id ="htmlView"> using the following code.

    htmlView.location = "" app:/htmlFolder/sub-folder/fileName.html"";

    Problem->

    It works fine in windows, but not running MAC OS. Probably because windows uses the folder structure, not sure on MAC OS, but I guess that settles into a single file that contains subfolders that are hidden from the user. Anyone know a solution for it?

    Thank you and best regards,

    Ahmed.

    var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("htmlFolder/sub-folder/fileName.html");
    htmlView.location = file.url;
