• Photoshop CS6 Pen Tool question

  The pen tool is filling even when I put it to shape layers. Forms don't meet either. It makes me really frustrated, and I don't know if it's just a bug or I'm missing something.

  Check the options bar for the tools that you use.

  Make sure they are on shape layer and check the fill that you specified (to ensure that you do not specify a fill 'None').

• Question about the pen tool (w / photo inside)

  Hi all! I have a question about the pen tool. I think that this picture is very useful for my question:

  

  So in this pic is an orange rectangle, and within this rectangle is a blue strip. I would like the blue band surface perfectly (not too much and not covered) the edge of the rectangle. For example, on the lower end of the blue band, you can clearly see that the band does not extend quite far to the edge of the orange rectangle. At the top of the band, he's a little more (a little hard to see). I work with some complex shapes when you use the pen tool and it's really slow me down to compensate for over/under Forms. If she could just snap to the borders of the other forms that would make my life a lot easier. Thanks for reading and please help!

  Duplicate the orange shape and change the fill color to blue. Draw your new shape on that layer, using the Intersect option.

• 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.

• Pen tools

  Hello, I am using illustrator for years and I have never encountered this problem in the past. Is there a way to permanently disable my folders to automatically connect to another without using shortcuts every time I want to create a new path?  Everything was working fine until yesterday. It's very frustrating when I just want to create simple lines and do not disconnect the points. I fear I have tape on a key without knowing.

  Thanks in advance!

  If disconnect you after each point placed you could not draw very well.

  Nobody talks about the pen from a new path with each click.

  a quick tap P is not a big deal. Otherwise, how is it meant to know when you want the line to continue or stop?

  The question is not to put an end to the path currently being developed, which can be made by pressing Enter. (You must type P, which is just the shortcut of selecting the pen tool, which, in the situation described, is already selected.)

  The question under discussion is the behavior of the auto-join infernal to Illustrator pen tool, by which he insists on endpoints of paths joining pre-existing not selected that resident within picking distance when you try to start a new path. It has been complained for decades. A few versions back, a parameter preferably finally offered to disable the behavior to remove auto anchorPoint just as boring. But from CS6, there is still no option to disable the auto-join behavior. (I can't speak for later versions, because I refuse to rent the software.)

  And Yes, the author of thread is quite correct in observing that Illustrator of convoluted override for the behavior of keyboard (mouse down somewhere you do not want to start the path, hold down the space bar, drag to where you want to start the way, mouse-around the top, release the SPACEBAR) is simply ridiculous.

  And the behavior of the auto-join is not necessary. Best interfaces drawing of path of other Bézier drawing programs do not. It is at the heart of the UI object oriented program design: the stylus is not a selection tool. There not affecting the paths not selected .

  Like many things in the interface selection heavy and confused by Illustrator, it is backwards. With the pen tool by hand, a single hot key should be used to momentarily appeal existing end point so a selection to Select a tool. Then by clicking on the pen in the same place joins in and continues the path selected now . It is more effective and more intuitive. It's just one of several places where the inconsistent interface Illustrator does not respect the fundamental meaning and purpose of 'selection '.

• Why the pen tool is automatically create forms for me?

  Hello

  I appreciate your time in reading my question. I was wondering why the pen tool on Adobe InDesign CS6 is to create forms automatically for me. Which does not em finish what I was wanting to create?

  Here's a 15 second video of what I mean: IMG_0506.MOV - Google Drive

  I'd appreciate any help you could give me. Have I pressed something wrong?

  I look forward to hearing from you soon

  Kind regards

  Daniel.

  He is not actually draw a shape, it is just to add the fill for the open road. If you set the fill to 0 it will stop doing that.

• The pen tool does NO good :-(

  I just update the Ai CC and now the pen tool 'close' all paths
  even without closing.

  What is going on?

  Daniel Ulysse,

  The only op, I would have suggested your reset preferences or something similar as the first thing to try, but it's quite strange to suddenly have two versions at the same time.

  Here are the usual list of things to try.

  Try the following (you may have tried / some of them already) and see if that helps you (the following is a general list of things, you can try when the question is not in a file specific; 3) and 4) specifically may be corrupted preferences):

  (1) close Illy and open again.

  (2) restart the computer (you can do that up to 3 times);

  (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

  4) move the folder http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);

  5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);  Even worse, you can:

  (6) uninstall, run the vacuum cleaner tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and then reinstall.

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

  Hello everyone,

  I sign a document in Acrobat.  But the color of the pen is red. I want to change in black or blue.  I have looked around the menus but can not find how display.  He is probably right under my nose somewhere, so I'd appreciate any help.

  Thank you!

  According to the official help site.

  "Ink signatures use the default color of annotations pencil tool. To change the color of the signature, click the pencil tool on the tools of comment & Markup toolbar. Then choose tool default properties and change the color on the appearance tab. »
  

  I had the same problem, locate your question along the way.  Finally, I stumbled on the above.

  I tried to find a better way to access the color of the pen tool, but it's the only way to change it.  I understand that this software is not supposed to be Photoshop or whatever it is, this method of changing the color of the pencil seems completely arbitrary at best.  But, on the other hand, at least it can be done.

  I hope that this answer am you in time to be useful again!

  Thank you very much

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

• Pen tool problem

  I'm having a problem with the pen tool recently. the pen tool doesn't let me do the sharp edges or horns.

  for example.

  I try to do that.

  

  And I am doing this: I

  

  See how the pen tool will not let me do the curve?

  It is a huge problem, because I want to do logos and I can't.

  If I'm doing something wrong, or using the wrong tool please tell me the correct way.

  I should also add the alternative way (which seems a bit lengthy compared to above, but who can help with a different design)

  Start up and going counterclockwise

  Click on the highest point of the page

  Click the second (straight line)

  Click on the third (straight line)

  Click and drag in the fourth (to create the curve)

  ALT click on the fourth point, which you have just created (which removes the handle facing forward)

  Click and drag to the fifth (to create the curve)

  ALT click on the fifth (to remove the handle facing forward)

  Click on items 6 and 7 (straight)

  Click and drag the 8 (curve)

  ALT click on the 8th (removes the handle facing forward)

  Click and drag the 9 (curve)

  ALT click 9 (to remove the handle facing forward)

  Click on the 10th (straight line)

  Click on the starting point (straight line to close the loop)
