Staff Gabe Posted October 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hi @blackxacto, You can use the Shift-click option for this. Click on the canvas to make a start point. Release, and while holding shift, click on where you would like the endpoint to be. This will draw a straight line between the 2 points. Thanks, Gabe.

firstdefence Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 What are you attempting to draw straight lines with? This is a complete whacked aid and is not even that predictable. Create a new doc select a brush click on the canvas Point A) move brush to another point (Point B) on the canvas Hold shift and click on canvas You would expect to get a straight line. from point A to point B But you don't.

Staff Gabe Posted October 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 23, 2018 You beat me @firstdefence . I was about to ask the same thing. firstdefence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 The only way I have found to get a straight line straight away (pun intended) is to double click first at point A and then shift click at point B this will start the straight line drawing, even then you never quite know whats going to happen so its not reliable nor logical. Single click and your guess is as good as mine as to where the line will end up on the second click, third click and more will then start to give you straight lines. If you manage to make some straight lines they are generally connected, if you then click at another point independent of any other click and then shift click the line will leap to the second to last place you clicked not the last point you clicked prior to shift clicking. This is about as broken as it can be and needs some serious recoding as far as I can see.

blackxacto Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Why is it taking so long to corrrect this flaw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted October 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 23, 2018 @blackxacto you still have not confirmed which tool you're using. There is a bug using the Brush tool, and we are aware of it. However, you can draw straight lines using the pen tool, which works as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted October 23, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'm afraid we do not have an ETA for this. As mentioned before, this has already been logged with our developers. Sorry for any inconvenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
