There is no handles on my anchor points

Please can someone help?

I tried to see the bounding box, ctrl and H, etc and there is still no handle for control on my anchor points. I've been Googling for 20 minutes and can't seem to find a solution. Help, please!

Sally,

You have created the Anchor Points with handles (smooth as opposed to the corner)?

What happens if you click or ClickDrag an anchor with the tool convert anchor point (you can Ctrl / Cmd + Z for undo)?

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • handle type anchor points?

    Is there a way to manipulate character anchor points to change the type, as you can do in Illustrator?

    Thank you.

    Fix. It is equivalent to "Vectorize" in Illustrator.

  • Delete just a handful of anchor point

    I can't find consistently to remove only one of the 2 handles to an anchor point. I can drag the handle in the anchor point, but sometimes it still there today and can be removed. Other times, he seems to disappear, as you wish.

    I would like to convert only a handful.

    Thank you

    With my copy of Photoshop, I can, using the tool Point conversion, convert the point a point of two handles to a point with a handle (with the ALT key down) or a corner (with no modifier key) point.

    With the down arrow key Alt I can drag a corner point to lengthen a handful in a single dimension.

    You people are not able to reproduce this?  This would be a difference between the PC and Mac platforms?

  • Manages the lack of anchor points in Photoshop CS4

    I'm trying to burn an image in PS CS4 and handles keep disappearing anchor points as I drag and drop, when I close the path are without handles, and when I use the path selection tool anchor points appear but without handles, if I use the anchor tool convert a handles reappear but disappears as soon as it is deselected. I'm definitelty by clicking and dragging to create the path so that the handles are present.

    If you want to display the handles that form a section, then click on this article with the direct Selection (white arrow) tool and not with the path Selection (the black arrow) tool.

  • 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

  • The tolerance setting works for the "Convert anchor point tool"? Are there other ways?

    Hello
    I wonder if the setting "tolerance"in the preferences only works for the arrow tools?» I put it to 8 pixels and it seems OK for these tools, but when I use the tool 'Convert Anchor' point it is incredible difficult to hit a point for me. It seems that I have to hit a point exactly one pixel, which is hard with a screen high resolution.
    My PC keeps beeping all the time and I'm getting crazy on this subject...
    It seems that the framework of tolerance doesn't work here, I'm right? There are other parameters that could help me to work with this tool?

    Sorry if this is the kind of a beginner question, I have much experience with PS and LR, but not so much with Illustrator (and I couldn't find anything useful in the internet).

    Thank you

    I agree, it is sometimes difficult to click on the sweet spot. Here are 3 proposals:

    1. Pay attention to the cursor icon. This will change when you are on a point anchor or direction.
    2. Try to turn on 'bearings commented. They can be a nuisance, but they are sometimes useful.
    3. Use the button "convert" on the Options bar. They may take a little longer but they are full-proof, moreover, you can convert or remove several selected points simultaneously using this method.

    I can't move the anchor points on a shape, I've drawn with the pen tool.  There are also small circles with a point in them (think focus), who they are and they are part of my problem? If I open a new document and draw randomly everything is good, no anchor and focus points behave.

    Bubble icons are the widgets corner. You can drag inward to round the corner. They are not part of your problem. If you want to hide them, select view > hide corner Widget. I have a hotkey defined for this menu item.

    If you see multiple bullseyes, you may have your set with the shape selected, that would prevent you from being able to move individual anchor points. Deselect the shape first, and then move the anchor with the direct Selection tool.

  • Move the handles of direction in synchronization with the anchor point?

    Hi all

    I'm trying to move the anchor points on a random object (to get an informal aspect). (I know that some effects that already.)

    Maintenance of corner points is no problem - you just put the handles of direction to the same coordinates as their anchor.

    But I can't move an inflection point in the way I want it, which is to move the anchor point, but maintain the direction handles in exactly the same relation to their anchor as they did before. That is to say, they should remain smooth points.

    My script calculates the difference between the 'before' and 'after' the position of the anchor and applies this difference for the handles of direction... but in practice, the smooth points are converted at the corners, because the direction handles does not maintain their relationship with the anchor point.

    Would appreciate if someone can point out the flaw (s!) in my logic.

    var docRef = activeDocument;

    var activeDocument.selection.length = objects;

    var prompt = cShift ("Point change (pt)", 5 ");

    loop through all objects

    for (var count = 0; count < objects; count ++)

    {

    currentObj = activeDocument.selection [count];

    Nudge (currentObj);

    }

    function Wizz each object

    function nudge (obj)

    {

    var objPoints = obj.selectedPathPoints;

    var objPointCount = objPoints.length;

    for (var i = 0; i < objPointCount; i ++) {}

    var thisPoint = objPoints [i];

    var go = thisPoint.anchor [0];

    var vb = thisPoint.anchor [1];

    var = thisPoint.leftDirection [0];

    var lb = thisPoint.leftDirection [1];

    RA var = thisPoint.rightDirection [0];

    var rb = thisPoint.rightDirection [1];

    If (goes == the & & will == ra & & vb == lbs & & vb == rb)

    {/ / If the point corner, alternate the position of anchor}

    go = go + ((Math.random () * cShift));

    VB = vb + ((Math.random () * cShift));

    thisPoint.anchor = Array (va, vb);

    handles direction all at the same position, now a corner point

    thisPoint.leftDirection = Array (va, vb);

    thisPoint.rightDirection = Array (va, vb);

    }

    on the other

    {/ / not a corner point: keep handles in the same position relative to their offbeat anchor}

    var = va2 will + ((Math.random () * cShift));

    vB2 var = vb + ((Math.random () * cShift));

    thisPoint.anchor = Array (va2, vb2);

    This bit calculates random offset applied to the anchor

    var anchorShifta = va2 - going;

    var anchorShiftb = vb2 - vb;

    These lines apply the same quarters for direction handles

    thisPoint.leftDirection [0] = la + anchorShifta;

    thisPoint.leftDirection [1] = lb + anchorShiftb;

    thisPoint.rightDirection [0] = ra + anchorShifta;

    thisPoint.rightDirection [1] = BO + anchorShiftb;

    }}}

    Modification of the other part:

    else
    { // not a corner point: keep handles in same relative position to their shifted anchor
        var aShift = Math.random()*cShift;
        var bShift = Math.random()*cShift;
        thisPoint.anchor = [va  + aShift, vb + bShift];
        thisPoint.leftDirection = [la + aShift, lb + bShift];
        thisPoint.rightDirection = [ra + aShift, rb + bShift];
    }
    
  • 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.
