Pen tool CS6 and confusion of path

Hi again all,

It's driving me crazy! Everyone has noticed this with the pen tool?

If I have 2 anchor points with a curve, I always used to be able to grasp the (elastic) path between the 2 points and then drag to change the shape and size of the curve, keeping the angle of the axis the same tip.

It was great, and I've developed a style that I find very fast and very accurate using this method.

However now in CS6, when I take the path and drag, it changes the angle of the axis points completely change the shape of my way. Also when I take the path, sometimes to the point also will start moving! as it is not actually embedded... I used to be able "roll" the path in a curve... now he dragged it away.

Illustrator CS6 works as I want what he... Try it for yourselves. Create a square with the stylus, then add a point in the middle of 2 of the edges and remove the origin point in between (you will need create axis points yourself in illustrator). Now you should have 4 points and a curve... Drag the path and see the difference between illustrator and Psalm.

I can't stop this behavior? its causing me so much grief!... I know that there will be lots of people saying simply click and drag to create the curve but after 10 years of doing it this way, it will be a little difficult to do!

Cheers in advance

Tom

  • Pen tool sometimes does not detect path under cursor for adding a new point

    Hi people...

    I just create a path with the pen (arrow) tool, but I found when I select a path, select the pen tool and move the mouse on the path to add a point, but the pen tool does not detect the underlying path, and the cursor does not change the pointer with the sign «+» If I click, it will start a new path.

    Curiously, in the same example, the tool pen tool changes to the anchor Point tool to remove if I hover over an anchor point on the same path I did not have the Add anchor point tool.

    Even more strangely, if I draw an ellipse or draw a path with the pencil tool, select it, select the pen tool, I DO get the Add option anchor when mouseovering path.

    Is this a known problem, or am I missing something?

    See you soon!

  • Does anyone has trouble with a precise positioning of the pen tool lines and cutting-edge Illustrator in 2015?

    I am very precise when I draw, and Illustrator seems to be positioning my points a little bit off where I point them to be. More frustrating, when I reduce the object or combine in the path finder, it re adjusts the shapes together. Does anyone have this problem or solution for this? Looks like a bug.

    This looks at what happens when the snap to grid of pixels is enabled in the transform palette.

  • How can I change the color of the pen tool?

    Hello

    I struggle to see the grey line used by the pen tool when you create a path. Is anyway to change its color?

    Thank you

    You will know that color the way movies between full black and white full according to the background color, but if you use a screen high resolution and the BG is just a few share points and on the other 50% gray, then that won't help much

  • I use CS6 and when I use the pen tool, it removes the Interior isn't the external image of the image

    I've been using photoshop cs5 and cs6 for some time, but I've never encountered this problem. Whenever I use the pen tool to draw an object and I close the outline object, it deletes the object I have traced him and not the bottom. It's really annoying and I can't change it. I have spentt a good amount of time to try to change but I don't know how. Can someone please help I also watched online, but there is nothing to help.

    Hello

    This is probably the path setting operations.

    The default setting in photoshop cs6 is to exclude the shapes that overlap, and you can also use forms combine.

  • The pen tool and Confusion mask

    Noob.

    I'm confused by the pen tool and masks.

    I got a tutorial and it worked OK,

    now in the field it doesn't.

    I want to draw a mask around an object.

    I click once with the tool pen to leave a point.

    I click a 2nd time and drag, expects the Bézier handles.

    but it only moves the 2nd point.

    I clicked on a third point, and verticies related to point 2 are now curved,

    but I do not see the Bézier handles.

    Next: The Edit mask.

    I can't move individial points,

    I can only take the whole mask to move.

    What don't I understand here?

    When you select a node (think it might be a single node selection), it should show the Bézier handles.

    No, if the mode is set to Rotobezier, which uses a different method of Bezier handles to set the voltage.

  • Photoshop CS6 Pen Tool Lag (only Pen)

    Hay guys, pen my tool of Photoshop CS6 has suddenly started to train and be slow when Im active on this tool. It is delayed and will slow down when I click on layers and do some other stuff, but ONLY when im on this tool. I have to wait 2-3 seconds for what it is to happen after I click on a point on the pen tool. Sometimes it's ok when its on the 'path' one but when its sequel "Shape" his late and goes really slow. This has only started to happen and he was quite fine the last time I used the pen tool. IM using Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7 and my computer is more than capable of handling the pen tool, as it has done completely well before. I tried enabling the GPU and change the setting from advanced to Basic. Also, I tried reseting my computer / open a new document and reopen Photoshop whgilst pressing Ctrl-Alt-shift to delete the settings but nothing worked. Can't seem to find a solution and im really confused as to why he suddenly arose and began to occur also if im on any other tool of its fine, no lag, nothing: L

  • Panels and pen tool does not.

    Hello. I use CS2 since I am not willing to spend so much money on a correct version.

    The CS6, I used once, the pen tool worked perfectly and I created this beauty:

    However on CS2, when I try to make curves, it automatically does this when I release:

    http://prntscr.com/9tvvmn

    I can't stroke the path, I can't do anything. It does this by itself.

    For my second problem, when I switch from windows to Chrome, for example, does it:

    I know that I could push the button cut but it's embarrassing and I have to break habits.

  • Pen tool, some paths, basic shapes, etc.

    Hi, first sorry for my bad English.

    I bought the ipad pro and pencil to apple, when it came out last year, trying to replace my macbook and imac in illustration and design work. I hope that Adobe, as one of the major design software developer, would a pro for us software "artists" in a few months. Not need to be too pro version full of mac os, but at least something that works for all kinds of artists:

    1 - drawings of hands free

    or

    2 precise geometric designs

    The first option in this version of works "Illustrator draws" regular, not great and not bad. We can make several good designs, the quality is good. But whenever I need a more specific move, small details. Frustration begins: no path, no selector to move a part of the drawing (just move the entire layer), etc.

    In the second option "illustrator draw" is simply not do work with this kind of artists (my case). I hate to be repetitive, but all I can say is that I tried to work with adobe apps with my ipad pro and apple pencil. And it is impossible (for my kind and style of work).

    I downloaded graphic Autodesk and Protosketch. Two of them, it is much MUCH better that Illustrator draws, I can get the end result in both entities. There's the pen, Bezier work tool just fine, select traced, paint, paint, move, align, insert the position and scale, remove and what I want is possible with these applications.

    So my question is, why adobe do not develop an app that make already what these apps do for years?

    Where is the pen tool (Bézier, etc.)? where selection points? where is the base of any vector software?

    Hi Lucas,.

    I'm sorry to have taken so long to answer. Thanks for posting.

    When the draw was created, it has been designed as, well, adjuvant to Illustrator CC. something that would allow people to start a project away from the desktop computer, and then complete it on the desktop.

    People have started using it to learn more. That has intensified since the introduction of the iPad from Apple Pro and a pencil and we receive many requests and suggestions to make the application more "useful". And we take them seriously with regard to the evolution of the draw. That said, despite the fact that they are requested with a certain regularity, I am not sure that the plan is to incorporate an Illustrator - Bézier or the selection tools in the app. I would like to have more information for you...

    I pass all comments along to the team produced and I'll share yours, in its entirety, with them also.

    Thanks again for taking the time to post.

  • Causes of puppet Warp and document to go black pen tool... is there a solution?

    I use Photoshop CC 2014.  When I Zoom and am using the pen tool, after several anchor points, the document will go black, and I don't see what I'm doing.  If I hit ctrl + Z, I can get the document to return, but usually, I can't add more points to the path.

    Today, as he tried to go to puppet Warp, after the mesh that stood, I tried to choose an anchor point.  When I did, the document became black, and I couldn't perform all the steps without trying to close completely off PS when I did, I was given the possibility to apply the filter.  When I chose to not apply puppet Warp, the document returned, and I cancelled to leave the program.

    Now, however, when I try to go to puppet Warp, the document will go black, and the mesh is even more will appear.  I have PS set to run a little on the 'ideal' memory range running.  I closed and open PS several times.  I have 306,94 MB of free space on my drive from Scratch.

    I use an Intel HD Graphics 3000 on Microsoft Windows 10.  My processor is an Intel Core [email protected] GHz, at 2095 MHz speed.

    I searched everywhere, but am unable to find information on these exact issues together.  What I found similar was the issue with the tool pen to varying degrees.  Most of these people received information that it is due to run PS CC 10 Windows.  Does anyone know a work around for this problem with limited specifications I provided?

    Thank you for your time.

    We pay every month for Photoshop... it gives me not an automatic update? I didn't know about that one.

    You can install all the update using the application desktop cloud creative to do.  Your better off that updates are not automatic. Adobe allows has a lot of bugs to be released.  You're better off waiting to hear if the new update are good or not.  You should always keep an old working version of Photoshop installed for insurance.  You must use the installation of Adobe Photoshop options ahead to keep older versions of Photoshop to uninstalled by new version installers.  Adobe management must have brought the previous version uninstall a default value.  I don't think programmers who would do to users.

  • CS4 crashes when I send to print and pen tool loses the ability to maintain a multi striped line attributes.
