Pen Tool Hint-RightMouse to Create a Straight Line

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.
