mikegem Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 How do I make a two point straight line with pen tool, (A to B and that's it no C, then start a new line with a different A)? The next point always connects with last point I'm using line mode, some times holding ALT seems to work, but never consistently. I've watched way too many vids that don't help with what I would think would be a simple and important thing to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted February 23, 2018 Hi mikegem, Welcome to Affinity Forums If you are using the Pen Tool in Line mode you should only be able to draw straight lines with a single segment. As soon as you click the third time on canvas it should start a new line. Are you sure you using Line Mode? In Pen Mode you have to press ESC to finish the current line and be able to start a new one. What OS and Affinity app are you running?

mikegem Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Uh, Yep you're right it works great today, third click, new layer, new line. I hadn't slept in 36 hours and I don't know what I was or wasn't doing to make it not work, but it works great today. I was trying to place perspective lines on photo to get my 3D camera set right, because Syntheyes was acting up so thought I'd do it by hand and was extremely frustrated . I am amazed at the quick response on this forum I really appreciate it sorry it was such an obvious thing, but thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
