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 '.

  • 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

    Screenshot_7.png

    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)

  • Pen tool: how to trace node

    For example, if I wan to draw

    -------->

    I would click to create a starting node. Move to the right, then create another node to form a line.

    Then I'd go diagonal to the left, but then I can't go back sharp part of the arrow to draw a diagonal line to the bottom left.

    Is there a way? I want to create an animation of an arrow is designed to help connect the tracks.

    Using the pen tool is slightly different than in Illustrator or Photoshop. My technique is to select the tool pen (g) then use Alt/Option and Ctrl/Cmnd to change the pointer. If you have trouble positioning of a Summit so you can place it anywhere with the default pen then select the point using the Ctrl/Cmnd key as a modifier and move it to a new location, then continue drawing.

    The only problem with alignment or placing a vertex directly on top of the other, is that it is very difficult to make diaper changes.

    My technique would be to shoot an arrow on paper first and decide how I naturally attracts it. Then, I'd probably use two shots, one for the line and a dash v under the arrow head shaped. I start to draw the arrow from the point, then back up and add the V.

    The other option would be to draw the line to change direction and move the pen to the back, then down, then to the point of creating a kind of arrow head closed. If you use two paths you can put them in the same shape layer and then add the trim paths to complete the animation with just two keyframes and the paths will be deleted in the order.

    The other option would be to draw the arrow in a full form not with a stroke, if you have a nice looking arrow. Then I would add suddenly to the model which was broad enough to cover the entire arrow, then apply trim paths to this feature and use it as a track matte to reveal the arrow. Everything depends on the design.

  • Pen tool in Ultra key

    When a green screen overlay with "Ultra key", I use the pen tool to select the person who I want to composite.  After the outline of the person, I would expect the peripheral green screen to turn black as if I was using a cache of transparency.  But nothing happens.  The person exists inside the outline of pen tool but the entire screen stays green.  However, when I use the pen tool in the "Opacity" effect, the space outside the Pen becomes black.  This is the effect I want to see when you use the pen in the Ultra masking effect.  Using the tool feather Ultra mask key in the effect on the area outside the area parked (as with the opacity effect)?

  • 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.

    Sue.

  • Pen Tool not work - Adobe first CC

    My pen tool does not work properly. In the timeline panel, he's not a keyframe on the video line. In the audio, it will be. The pen works more as a selection tool in the video portion of the timeline. Everything is developed and illustrated. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program. Any ideas?

  • Features of the line of my mouse and the pen tool are thicker than my tablet.

    Hello, I have just built a new computer and tried drawing in Photoshop but it turns out that my features of line of my mouse and the pen tool appear to be twice as thick as my Tablet features. I am currently using the Wacom Intuos small Pen & Touch tablet. I messed with the settings and put sensitivity to pressure for setting low to make sure that I get a fixed size for each shot, so it's probably a sensitivity problems. I don't have this problem with my last computer when I used the same Tablet and the program Photoshop I use now. Does anyone have suggestions about how can I fix? Thank you for your time.

    Occam's razor would tell us that it is almost certainly a problem with spring pressure.

    Or the other of the two first round brushes by selecting in the brush Panel must ensure pencil and mouse identical brush sizes.

    The other thing to look at is the options bar.  The other icon highlighted in red, is the pressure change opacity.

    You can use both at the same time.

    Then the filling is already built into the brush.

    If you did the brush off-trail with thick lines, check the latter if there is a fill applied and delete it. Then make a new brush or replace the existing one.

It is delayed and will slow down when I click on layers and do some other stuff, but ONLY when im on this tool.
