Pen Tool Hint-RightMouse to Create a Straight Line


Ron P.

Recommended Posts

I just noticed in the Tool Hints, located in the Lower-left, shows a hint of using the RightMouse to create a straight line. However the RightMouse instead produces a popup menu. There is no mention, that I can find in the Help, of using the Right Mouse button for creating straight lines using the Pen tool.

fortunately, there is a radio button in top menu allowing to toggle "fill aspect ratio". This eliminates the need to use right-click. Took me hours fighting against the UI to realize - because tried to understand and use the dysfunctional hints on the bottom line.

Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.
