the direct selection tool - how not to move the shape/path?

This thing drives me to work my anti-stress ball: when I touch a path with the white arrow, I'm always first in a mode where the path may be moved. But I want to move a blink of an eye or the handle - is there a place where I can put this tool to do not move or or to select never all the way? I have the normal selection for that tool! I think I watch something. Thank you!

orangestuff,

You can edit > Preferences > General and then uncheck the box use area select, but it means that you need to knock or drag on the path when you use the normal selection tool.

And it's always good to be able to make a success and train your finger to spring.

  • Cannot see the whole picture when you move into a smaller template with the direct Selection tool

    Hello!

    I recently got my laptop cleaned in preparation for examinations and such (I'm in high school). As I belong to art class, when Basic programs have been re-installed we also got the Adobe programs, but we got the CC 2015 version instead of the version CS5, we had earlier. After a stressful week, I finally had time to sit and work on my projects aside, but I quickly found a big problem which stops at my work. After re size the image at the size I want, I don't see the whole picture when I move in the smallest area with the direct Selection tool more. Photos I use are generally quite large, that I've tried to work with now are 451mmx338mm after the scaling down and I have a 'framework of standard departure' to 60mmx15mm (I make the bosses), so now I have basically has to guess my way toward a good composition...

    Can I make it work again?

  • Selection tool will not adjust the forms

    For some reason when you work with illustrator my selection tools won't adjust the forms more. I can move the shapes but I can't resize them or stretch them. If I have a form of rectangle on my selected screen, the hatch which are normally found in the environment are no longer there, also on the edges of the rectangle of the selection tool is not switch to the rotation tool. My selection tool also has a small black square down to the right that I have not noticed before. I have no idea how I got into this mode or other whatnot, but any help to return to normal would be awesome, preferably without resetting all my preferences, thank you!

  • Direct Selection tool not showing ankles illustrator CS3, Mac 10.5.8, MBP 2 .6GHz

    Using the direct Selection (white arrow) moving on an anchor, they appear, but even if the anchor is selected the blue anchor box disappears as soon as the mouse moves away, so its impossible to select a handle.  I can still pass an anchor, but it is difficult to select two anchors attached paths, etc., somehow as lead a blind man.  If I click on a path, and then hold down the command key, hollow anchor box appear and the cursor turns into the selection tool.  Trough areas appear on the selection using the selection tool (black arrow).  I'm pretty direct selection tool was working properly last week (am a casual user).

    I know the difference between tool, direct Selection tool, and group selection tool.   I think that happened a year ago and deleting a file preferably helped.  I, quit illustrator, remove "com.adobe.illustrator.plist" in my user library and tried.  that did not help.

  • Selection tool is not the tail with images when you drag

    So I had this frustrating thing for a while. When I put my selection tool a video file at first to move to the side or another layer and as soon as, like moving the selection tool a bit, he places automatically the video one layer under my selection tool... So I have to move the selection up to a length of layers tool to adjust it to the left and right on the timeline... Just a fight. I wish that the selection tool has not changed the layer of videos when I moved it left and right... Just stick with the images that I am setting on the im adjustment layer. Check out the video and you will understand what im getting. The selection tool shows a strange looking symbol with an arrow pointing down so I guess it's just a special feature that was accidentally checked the. You just don't know where I can go back to normal. Thank you

    Went on the Chat with Adobe and they solved the problem via remote access.

    First on erase my personalized workspaces closed first pro. Then went to my "documents" (I have a mac) 'Adobe' and then click 'Premiere Pro' and moved three files named "6.0" "9.0" and "10.0" in a new folder, that they named "Od." Finally they opened back first. When the box came to put everything in place, they went up to the top of the window and deselected "import the project workspace" under "workspaces". I have opened a project and it fixed the problem. I had to make a new workspace and change some shortcuts custom back, but other that that, it was back to normal.

  • Selection tool automatically switching to the direct Selection tool, grabbing a picture box

    Seems that when I'm grabbing an image placed in Indesign CS5, it automatically switches to the direct Selection tool and grabbing the image instead of its container. I'm doing something wrong? I have to do it several times before I can enter the container and the image, instead of just the image.

    Any tips? I've only noticed this in CS5.

    It seems the content grabber, see you a "donut" are also?  If yes go to view > Extras and click on hide content Grabber or go here and learn how to use it, apparently, some find it useful, personally I don't.

  • Text and the direct Selection tool?

    When I place a space for the text or graphic, the box has an external box around it. The space between the two sets of text blocks lines. I have to use the direct Selection tool to capture the corners and close the gap.

    I have a set of adjustment that I can't find out. I would not have this second line in the boxes. Y at - it of some sort that I can disable that?

    Attached is a snapshot of the extra green line around the image... and the small red sign that the text is covered by it.

    I am very frustrated as I do several bulletins and the time is almost double.

    I'd like an answer to my e-mail address, [email protected] .

    Thank you.

    This is an indication of the film text limit. You have a default text wrapping. To turn on it took off for new arrivals make sure nothing is selected and open the text layout Panel and do not select the icon of film no. Do the same thing without papers open to make sure have not set it as a global default value for the application.
