BobX Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hi, I’m a AD newbie and using AD 1.6.4.45 on a 12” 1st gen iPad pro. I have a few questions regarding a pen tool. While drawing a line or a polygon, the pen tool behaves as a has a large radius instead of a pen nib. I’ve tried to change the resolution of the document but it doesn’t bring anything. Only zooming in lets you to draw or select lines with higher precision - but then I lose a Preview of the element I draw. Is there any tip to change this awkward behavior of a pen tool? The second question regards the possibility of deselecting using a finger while drawing a line with a pen tool. There is such an ability when using, for instance, a pencil tool. Inability to deselect by a finger while using a pen tool is a bug or is there a secret tip to activate this one? Maybe can I use a pencil to draw a straight-line-polygon (without a bezier-nodes)? Thanks for any tips and advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
