Where is the tool pen?

It is a very simple question that I can't understand, and this may sound stupid. Where is the tool pen? I'm pretty new to sequels, I used CS6 for a long time but now in DC, I can't find the pen tool, it used to be in a bar on the top and now it is not there. I feel very stupid, and there is probably a very simple answer. I want to make a mask. IM on mac using Adobe after effects 2015.

the first thing I teach my students is "reset workspace. When you start with the software and it has so many shortcuts you'll ruin things. probably, you don't see the tools Panel. Windows-> work-> reset standard space.

and if you want, you can use the shortcut 'G '.

see if it's ok now

  • Why the tool pen decided to stop letting shapes on the tour?

    I am tracking a series of squares of aerial images of buildings. After I updated my illustrator, the pen tool decided to stop to let me do this in a clean way. For example, I'm doing a sketch for a shopping centre, a floor plan based. I draw a square, my next shape is a rectangle. I hold SHIFT key to allow the tool pen anchor immediately above one of the anchors of the place. Previously, I would, and everything would be fine. Now I'm doing it, and the second that I create my next point, it forces the anchor first outside the anchor of squares. It also leaves not the features overlap each each other. He moves. So instead of having two squares which affect, suddenly 1pt. Where they touch is now 2pt because moving automatically forms without saying me it. So I get my tool of choice to move the points back where I had originally placed. I have no slam on. In fact, it feels almost as if it is anti slam anchors. With glance on this subject makes it even worse. What is going on?

    Here's an example, let me remind you that all these places are supposed to be of the same width and with a uniform wall. The stylus moves my anchors in all directions.

    How can it be a bug in Rectangles to live when he said that it is using the pen to create the forms?

    Mr Nagoo, I suspect it is because you have "" Align new objects to the grid of pixels"turned on (see the wheel of Transform Panel menu).

  • In using the tool pen as a Guide?

    Is it possible to use the tool pen of freedom as a guide? I used the "Auto layer blending" and there are some shifts. If I use the tool pen of freedom at the edge where the mixture was made. After I correct misalignments, I want to get rid of the sketch of the pen tool. I tried to put the pen tool on its own layer, but when I deleted the layer, the pen marking tool was still there. Is it possible to get rid of the marking pen after resolving misalignments?

    Thank you

  • How do I move the two forms at the same time using the tool pen

    Screen Shot 2016-05-17 at 12.03.13 PM.pngI tried merging groups 1 2 and 3, so they can be handled together. I've grouped them and they merged, but when I try and move with the pen tool they move separately. For my project, I need to be able to change the shape of 12 and 3 using the pen tool, how would I go to do this?

    they set out like a vector Illustrator diagram, I've merged them there and imported, but they always move separately.

    Thanks in advance

    If you work with multiple masters and the tool pen, you use the Ctrl/Cmnd key to change the pen of a selection tool that resembles a small white inverted V. You can drag a selection around multiple points on a path and then hold down the SHIFT key and select more points on a different path. Once selected you release the Ctrl/Cmnd key and when you go near a selected vertex selection tool appears again, but this time it is a small black reverse V. and drag.

    If you want to transform these points then all you have to do is press Ctrl/Cmnd + t when they are selected and you will actually have a better tool paths of transformation you get in Illustrator.

    He is essentially on the functioning of the tool pen in Illustrator if you select the direct selection in artificial intelligence (the key) and then the pen tool (p key) and use the Alt/Option key to switch to the top to convert or Ctrl/Cmnd to direct selection points.

    BASIC Edition of masks stuff covered in the help files and explained in community resources, if you enter editing masks or change forms or the pen tool in the search help field at the top right of the AE.

    If you are using multiple forms on a single shape layer, you can do the same by providing that the forms are curves of Bézier or Rotobezier.

    If the paths of the form or masks are on separate layers, you are out of luck. There is no way to change the multiple paths on different layers at the same time. I don't expect that there is a way to do it. Here's a short demo:

  • Why Illustrator change my anchor points and size race randomly when I'm using the tool pen?

    Why Illustrator change my anchor points and size race randomly when I'm using the tool pen?

    k,

    It looks like you might be haunted by the Align attribute to the ghost of the pixel grid.

    You can select the entire document and untick finally align on the pixel grid in the Transform palette and uncheck also align new objects to the pixel grid in the options of the Launcher. It is crucial that the checkbox is disabled completely, not just a - which also count as ticked.

    It may be noted that even align with the pixel grid is cleared with all the selected objects, align new objects to the pixel grid is checked as the creation of new objects will result in these new objects being aligned, even when they are created from existing objects that can happen with Pathfinder operations.

    You can avoid the types of documents with the default (RGB for the web and other) or change the default value for such documents.

  • Help with the tool pen when moving CS5.1 to CC

    I never use PS, but still did not used to the tool pen in CC, especially when compared to CS5.1.

    I would be eternally grateful if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong or how do things!

    In CS5.1 I could draw a path with the pen tool, then command-drag on the line between two points to change the shape of the path between these two points. In CC when I ordered-drag path of shape changes but made the way across two points, I am working on.

    In CS5.1 only the length of the handles Bezier control altered, in CC length and angle of the altered control handles, which affects the path I want to change.

    So what I am doing wrong? I use the pen and the path a lot and I'll have to go back to CS5.1 to do any series and complex path works because I can not familiarize themselves with the new CC pen tool. Help!

  • How to extrude a path created with the tool pen

    Hi all

    I created a path with the tool pen (part Brown) and now I want to extrude, but output is the set containing the block (see image below)

    Now, I have tried everything, from the grouping of transparent traces, etc., but nothing works.

    How to extrude my way?

    Thank you

    Illustrator_Extrude.PNG

    It is because you applied an effect hatched the path before extrusion it. You are effectively 'extrusion' the raster image, which is a rectangle.

    Don't, don't. Apply the frame effect to a rectangle and store that as a symbol. Give the desired path to extrude a simple filling and extrude. Then use the veneering of 3D effect feature to map the symbol to the desired surface.

  • New path-layers of all lines with the tool pen?

    Hello! I am currently using Illustrator CS6 as a test version, and when I use the tool pen to make a beaver (school work), it all end in a single layer. I want to have a new layer-path of each line with the pen tool, so I can remove rows from the layer panel too. For the moment, it's a layer that has a picture of a beaver, and I can't see the individual lines that I drew. When I used CS5 recently I had no such problem.

    There is a setting that I can change or does have something to do with the news of CS6?

    If you want to see a 'sex' for each object changes the display of the layer panel by choosing Options from the Panel menu in the layer panel. In the lower part of the Panel options window, make sure that groups and objects are both checked. You will then see a 'sex' for each object.

    I quote 'sex' here because technically they aren't the layers. They resemble layers and are in the layer panel, but they do not exactly allow options that allow actual layers. You can select and move objects in the Panel this way however.

    Thanks

    I guess that you have upgraded to Firefox 3.6, no doubt? With Firefox 4 and newer, the Tools menu has been moved. If you click on the big orange "Firefox" button in the upper left corner of your window, you can see the button 'Option '. This is the same option window you had in the Tools menu with the older Firefox. If it does not, press the ALT on your keyboard. Which will bring up a temporary menu like older versions of Firefox.

    Now for your second option, I assume you mean AutoComplete forms. You can read all about it in the latest version of Firefox at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Form-autocomplete
