My pen tool will not draw straight lines

When I click on the tool pen cursor shows the pen tool with the 'x '.  When I click to create the first point, nothing happens.  If I click and drag it will create a point, but I don't want the curves.  I want a straight line.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm on OSX Yosemite 10.10.3

The problem was the Google Chrome browser!  As soon as I left my pen tool Chrome has started working again.  Didn't even need to restart Fireworks.  I wonder if this is a conflict with one of my plugins/Add-ons.  More likely.

Updated - I reduce it to a specific to Google Chrome extension.  It was 'Google Play Music'

  • Pen tool will not align with existing paths - Please HELP ME OUT!

    Before, I could draw on a new layer with the pen tool and when I flew over existing paths of the other layers, they would appear in red, blue, etc. NOW... I fly over these paths with my stylus and they are not flashing, which means I can't use them as a reference! I am so angry, please someone give me a hand, please!

  • My pen tool will not work.

    Hello, I have used my Adobe Premiere 5.5 several times now. But this morning when I started editing a new video, my pen tool has been disabled. I clicked on the pen tool, put it where I wanted to on the timeline and click, but my point is never introduced. I did this several times looking for a point, nothing helps. Can someone tell me what I missed this time. I hope a first pro that looks like it's going to say ' Oh, she's not the Yes and so on. Laughing out loud. Please help if you can.

    Thank you!

    Using CS5 or CS5.5? I know you said CS5.5, but I want to be sure...

    In CS5, you hold Ctrl/Cmd to add a point with the pen tool. This was changed in CS5.5 so that the default action is to add a keyframe. hold Ctrl/Cmd allows you to go up and down the rubberband.

    And you try to draw images key audio/rubberband, or something else?

  • The Polygonal Lasso tool will not systematically put points on a selection.

    The Polygonal Lasso tool will not systematically put points on a selection. When I click on select and moving to another point at random don't graph a line from the last point to the new I want. I can go back and click again to the previous point and sometimes it will follow until the next point, but sometimes with simply close the selection prematurely.

    I was finally able to contact the customer support of cat care and the agent, Arjun Hohli, was able to do repair. I tried to follow along what he was doing, but lost track. It seems to heal by resetting preferences, uninstalling and reinstalling CC files. It was a problem with PS CC 2015 and Windows 10. I suggest to anyone having a similar problem to jump the forums and go straight to the Contact Customer Service REPS the remote access feature works fine and save a ton of confusion. It allows to see the real problem rather than relying on the customer precisely describing the anomaly, the support staff.

  • Beginner with the pen tool problem: not obvious on any shape layer

    I'm learning the pen tool. I made a line with the pen tool, but now I can't find out what layer it is on, and I can't caress as I wanted. All my layers are turned off and the form appears. However the research through the layers there is no vector layer that contains my line. In addition, I can't touch the line as the line options and filling are greyed out on my table of paths. I have attached a copy of Θcran to explain if all goes well I mean. I use CS2 on Windows 7.

    Your Layer palette capture you have no visible layer and targeted in order to trace the path would not be available and gray by Photoshop.  Target a layer visible and you should be able to stroke the path on this layer. Also, you should be able to add a shape layer by using this path of pen.

  • HP 8500 has more scan not scan - I hear a fast spin and the book will not draw in the charger

    HP 8500 has more scan not scan - I hear a fast spin and the book will not draw in the charger. I tried a reboot, including disconnect the motor from the power analysis. A software update was just pushed through today as well, but the problem with the scanner was before this update. This update took place after the power has been turned off, then on again.

    The problem occurred this morning during a prior scan + back. I heard a click or pop/fast spin, something that indicates something was wrong, when he tried to feed on the 1st backsheet through for the scan of the back. Now, it won't take what anyone, even to make a copy using the feeder.

    When I look at the roll holder bar above paper, I noticed that it does not drop down to make contact with the paper he move to the scanner itself. I remember having this problem once before - there are 2 years, while the warranty was still in effect and does not remember how it was resolved.

    Any suggestions would be welcome. I don't want to buy another printer just to get the scanner to feed again. The printer itself is fine and scan from the bed is not affected.

    For anyone interested, I sloved the problem of roller scanner do not push the paper into the ADF.

    I turned off the printer last night. Today, I removed the power cable at the back of the printer and then unplugged the power cord from the wall. It was off for about 30 minutes. I reconnect the cable to the printer and the wall, the printer running and waited about 10 minutes. So tired the charger scanner again. It worked and I don't know why.

    Yesterday, I tried a version of what I found in the documentation for HP support. He said to do, but not to turn the printer off first. He has not worked for me.

    I don't know if my path has really had no effect on the results, but it works now and I don't have to think about buying a new printer for awhile yet. I like this idea!

  • The cutting tool will not work in trying to capture the menu drop-down

    I've recently upgraded to Office 2016 from 2013 and since then my Snipping Tool will not work correctly. I can always capture what I want except for the drop down menus. Eight other users are connected to my network of the company; all Windows 7, all Office 2016 and it works on all the computer but mine. I opened the Snipping Tool, click Cancel (tried to escape, too), and then open the menu drop down, press Ctrl + print screen and nothing happens. Can someone help me?

    I just thought of it myself. Used to work in previous versions using the Esc, then press Ctrl + print screen. Now, it's a little different.

    1. Your screen are preparing to capture you want, with the exception of the drop down.
    2. Open the capture tool and choose the type of capture you want (I use the Rectangle) and now the new part... Choose a delay for however many seconds you have to when you press New when you can open the drop desired down.
    3. Click new. (The capture tool will activate not to but the number of seconds you have chosen late.)
    4. Open your drop desired down and wait for the tool.
    5. Proceed as usual.

    Hope that helps!

  • Select new & mask tool - draw straight line with subtractive brush?

    Thisblog:

    To select it fast (W), Lasso (L) and brush (B), shift toggle tools subtract from selection to add to the selection

    ...

    Click shift-click to paint a straight line between the first and subsequent

    I have the selected brush, and he is set to subtract. I want to draw a straight line across topics I want to subtract. But I can't use shift to draw a straight line, as shift changes the subtractive brush in an addendum.

    .. .this who am I missing?

    I don't think you're missing something really, as you say press 'shift' to activate the version "+" of the Brush tool and so you will always get an addition to your selection if SHIFT-click between two points to give a straight line. If you really want to avoid using press SHIFT-click on the button 'invert' and then shift - click, when finished press "reverse" yet once and you should have what you want.
