Suddenly sees anchor point handles paths.

Hello. I'm working on a file in Illustrator CS5. All of a sudden when you use the direct Selection tool - handles and anchor points are not visible without worrying whether selected or not. They are simply not their appearance. They exist however. When I click-and - drag to select an area where I know there is an anchor point and then I use the keys keys to move the anchor point - I see the path change. But I don't see the point anchor I'm moving.

It's all the product only on a particular file. When I open a new .as file and try to reproduce the problem - everything works fine.

Any ideas why this is happening suddenly? I guess I accidentally hit something to change a setting, but what I can't understand. I have checked the selection and display of anchor in preferences, but can't find anything different there when comparing it to a file where everything works normally.

Thank you

  • I can edit the Bézier handles symmetrically with Anchor Point tool?

    In CC when using the pen tool on PC, I like the way that you press Alt and Anchor Point tool allows to modify Anchor Points and paths on the fly. But to convert an anchor point in the curve, the Bézier handles soar symmetrically compared to start but after letting go, I can only go back and modify the handles independently using this tool who loses the symmetry and therefore the sweetness in the anchor point

    Is it possible to edit the Bézier handles symmetrically using this tool after the initial conversion of the corner anchor to smooth?

    Thank you

    If you want to change the handles symmetrically, so that they are uninterrupted - direct face-to-face and the same length, you have to start over - drag - click on the anchor with the anchor Point tool.

    I don't think you should use the Alt key

    After that, assuming that both handles are uninterrupted, you can click drag with the direct Selection (white arrow) tool on the end of handles and the curve will remain smooth as handles to remain intact.

    so in short, use the direct Selection tool (press and hold Ctrl), if you want to change unilaterally, without breaking the 2 handles.

    Can be useful for checking-

  • The path segments and anchor point conversion

    Once again, coming from CorelDraw background, working with paths and their anchor in Illustrator, seems me very little practice, but hey, I'm willing to learn. However, I could not find how to get this Illustrator basic functionality, and oh boy I searched a lot. So, here we go, maybe you guys can give me a hint.

    Basically, in CorelDraw, anchor points can be: cusp point, smooth or symmetrical and the correspondence path segments can be lines or curves, all of these can be set by little fast individually and for me somehow normal.

    Corel000.jpgCorel002.jpgCorel003.jpgCorel004.jpgCorel005.jpgCorel006.jpgCorel007.jpg

    Now in illustrator, I know how to use convert tool for shwitch to a smooth point to a corner anchor point or the other way around. But many times, after his conversion to a point angle, I would like to have the posibility to do one or the other line segments of a path or curve. How can I do this in Illustrator?

    It is also possible to reproduce the functionality of symmetrical knot in Illustrator, which is specific for an anchor point handles, are the same length, move synchronized and always 180 deg apart.

    Thank you and sorry if my questions are obvious, I can't find my energetic path in Illustrator.

    I'm really sorry for this announcement.

    Don't apologize. Your points are not invalid.

    Fact, it's simply, Illustrator does not provide an explicit anchor type that assures the tangency between the right and a segment of the curve (your screenshot third in your initial post). Draw is done. The fact Freehand (called connector Points). No Illustrator.

    Illustrator does not provide an adequate means for retrieving a single handful of anchor point. Allowing you to win almost end up disrupting the curvature of the adjacent section.

    Illustrator does not constraints anchors to symmetric handles of the same length. You can do this initially convert result to slip with the tool, or (recently) click the button convert to smooth in the control panel. But even once, there no special anchor type to ensure that the symmetry continues with future adjustments.

    If you continue to study carefully the differences, you will find several omissions similar and/or limitations in interface of Bezier path of Illustrator, for taken-for-granted things in other programs. For example, you cannot compel a length of handle adjustment (sliding) to the current angle. It's always been like that. The Illustrator Bezier interface is worse in their class. Too many tools; too few features.

  • How can I remove the unnecessary anchor points ALL at ONCE? (pathfinder / path offset)

    Hello, I tried to seek answers on this topic, but it was of no use...

    I'm currently in trouble after too many anchor points "image path" or "path offset tool."

    1. I would like to know if there is a way to remove unnecessary points at a TIME. (e.g. multiple on stait line or duplicate anchor points points to an anchor point)

    -J' tried to "Simplify", but it changed the image too.

    -J' tried to "Remove points of redundancy" when using the 'image path' but it came out as below:

    multiple points.JPG

    2. sometimes pathfinder seems to duplicate paths. Is it possible to know that there are both duplicated paths eraseing double GOLD?

    Thanks for read this msg, I hope to hear from someone who has answers to my questions.

    You can buy clever graphics VectorScribe if you do this a lot.

    If not, redraw using the pen tool, as some authors have claimed.

  • You can connect two anchor points on a closed path?

    I'm trying to draw a line on one side of one form to another, but I want attached it to each path with anchor points and circulate not only in the illustration. Is this possible?  Is it possible for, say, add anchor points to paths that intersect and then remove the excess?

    Usually, when you add a anchor with the pen tool the next anchor point connects to a line (path) between the two. When I put the tool feather on one traced existing, it adds an anchor point to the path, but I don't know how to connect a line from there to another anchor point?square.jpg

    Like that, but actually connected to path with anchor points.

    Thank you

    Henri

    You can do however by drawing lines and with some effort, making it a compound path.

    BTW, the answer is no, you cannot do it, there is no way to do it in Illustrator.

  • on the set of paths, select anchor points and move the handles at the same time

    Select a group of anchor points, I want to drag the handful of roping and have other anchorage handles to move the same angle and length than I'm moving, I can currently do drag up the warp through the paths tool to get some sort of equal effect I want but that is not always the same ,

    I wish that all grooves (paths) to have the same length and angle of anchorage handles. Thus, they maintain their relations. But I want to do this actively by dragging one of the handles to anchor, not by a dialog with preview,

    (I would also be viewing live update of the race while you adjust, not just of the paths)

    move_anchor_handles.png

    Quite simply... You can not.

    At least not without third-party plug-ins such as XtremePath or Control Point. And even then, you must move the handles, do not drag.

  • Drag a single handle on an anchor point in a path

    Hello

    I wonder how it is possible to drag only a handful of anchor point. Sometimes I have a path and some anchor points have only a handful of drag on. Now, I want to address the other handle _without_ changing the handle already positioned. Is it still possible?

    The tool 'convert anchor' point allows me to drag the handles, but only two at a time. This always results in change in position of the handle already positioned.

    Thank you

    -Sebastian

    Hello Sebastian,.

    You can always use a plug-in like Nineblock software BetterHandles to accomplish this and many other manipulations of Bezier curve which does not exist natively in Illustrator.

  • Illustrator: Starts a new path from an existing anchor point without continuing the path

    Is it possible by using the pen, or any tool tool, to start a new path to the exact coordinate of an anchor without the tool pen automatically linking the existing to the new path?

    CG,

    The guides are your friends.

    With the selected pen tool, you can:

    (1) use the P key after the end of the first path;

    (Somewhere, 2) click close and keep Clicked, and then hold down the space bar and drag it to align with the anchor Point of end of 1) and drag the handles if desired, and then continue on the street as usual.

  • Unable to set the anchor points of the path when the keyframes turned on...

    I have a layer of irregular shape who I am deformation over time (from smallest to largest). I am able to set the anchor points of the path to the forms I want, but once I put two keyframes for the path I'm interpolating a slide, I'm more able to set the anchor points for minor changes, for example, I am unable to draw the Bézier handles. If I disable keyframes, then I am allowed to adjust the anchor again, but that means I have to start whenever I need to make an adjustment. I have run successfully the concept but need to change several layers of form in this way, and not having is not access to the Bézier handles point of anchorage slows productivity.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,

    Sorry, I missed the rather obscure reference to an expression in the first post you. Had, I had to pay more attention I'd say disable the expression to change the path, and then select. Not being able to select a top with the marks of perfectly logical on expression because it is turned on with the full path is selected by the expression of all time. This is how work expressions. This seems to be a lot of trouble to go just to change the "timing" of a couple of keyframes.

  • Merge multiple paths to a single anchor point

    Hello friends,

    I want to create a perspective of illustrator grid to use with other software.

    I would like to know if it is possible to merge several paths to an anchor point unique to a single point perspective grid that can be easily changed by moving the anchor point in the Middle, as in the picture below.

    Imgur: the most impressive pictures on the Internet

    An anchor may reach only 2 segments of track. Your image must at least consist of 2, if it is not not 4 paths. But you can select multiple anchor points (not a path) and use the Panel line up to get them exactly on the same position. Later if you want to draw a rectangle with the direct selection above them, move them around and move these selected elements.
