How can i draw a straight line with a brush?

i know the pencil tool can draw a straight line with anchor points. is there a setting for the pencil tool that can mimic a 30 point brush, low hardness (faded side to side) at about an 80 degree angle or is there a way to make a straight line with the brush tool using a mouse?
i know this image is a bit blurry. what i want to do is replace the 2 white angled lines with the 30 point brush effect 230 pixels wide. the project on the left of the pic is a 2ft by 4ft canvas. any ideas? please help.

Hello Mike, I wonder if you can help, no one else can. I asked this question on the forum in August Brush line fades on start with anchor points
Only on Photoshop CC does this happen, drawing a diagonal line with shift key, instead of line starting dark & then fading out, it does the reverse, starts on nothing & then darkens towards anchor point. I am on trial versions & can't purchase until this is cleared up.

How can you draw a thicker line!

Hi,
Do you know how to draw a thicker line without
using Graphics2D? I can not use setStroke because
if I use graphics2d class, the user have to download
JRE to run my applet.
Thanks

Use the end-points of your line to create a Polygon which provides a border round it, then use Graphics.fillPolygon.

How can I draw in Photoshop CS6 with a touchscreen?

I recently got an Asus Q551L laptop with touchscreen and running on Windows 8.1 and cannot use the touchscreen to draw in Photoshop CS6. I can use it to choose a tool but when I drag my finger across a layer, it does not draw unless I start in the gray area surrounding the image. I have tested a few programs including Microsoft Paint and Illustrator CS6 and I can start drawing in the middle of the image like what I wanted; it's only Photoshop with this problem of not being able to draw unless I start at the edge. So how can I fix this?

Photoshop relies on the pressure sensitivity that is so popular with the Wacom tablets. This means that it ignores the capacitive pen when drawing. But seams to work fine for other features like accessing the UI buttons. I am not sure how this helps you since I do not know what pens will work on your screen. But maybe this will at least point you in the right direction.

Change the AngledLine class to store two points instead of 3 points (I would rename the class to be StraightLine). The code is much simpler because you just store the starting and ending points and you don't need to calculate the middle point.

Yes. Once you select the line bar a new entry will appear where you can select what type of line. Based on my experience whether or not it will change is iffy.

How can I insert a vertical line between two underlined unfilled with text lines. I am trying to construct an invoice and I need a break. If I try any of the shapes or inset functions it eliminates my underlined lines and shifts the whole document.

I am trying to construct an invoice. How can I install a vertical line between two or more underlined lines to create a break. I have tried the insert, shapes and nothing works. If I try any of the functions the whole document shifts to the right and I loose some of the lines. Is there a work around, or is I work not able to do what I want?
Thanks

It sounds as though you may have "Object Causes Wrap" activated for the Line Shape. This will push other content away.
See the Wrap Inspector.

Drawing a straight line over a video

Is it possible to draw a straight line over a video in CS6 and also to watch the video frame by frame to take exact timings?

Hi Jeff,
Back again! i have managed to put the line over the video and can have it on there as long or as short time as i wish, but it appears to be moving with the video and i need it to stay at a certain point and the video to carry on playing. Basically im trying to mark a point on a race track where the horse in the lead gets to, then i need the line to stay there for when the last horse comes to the line, with the lead horse moving on past. Currently the line doesnt stay on a specific point it on the video and go out of shot when the video moves, it appears to be moving with the video. I know the overlay is a static image but is there a way of making it look like it stays in a specific place on the video?
Hope this makes sense!
Thanks Kat

Any way to simulate a user drawing a straight line in Captivate 6?

I'm trying to create a software simulation. While most of the user interaction with the software involves just clicking buttons and entering values in various fields, there is one place where the user has to draw a straight line from one point to another. Basically, I would like Captivate to dynamically display the line as it is being drawn (i.e., getting longer as the mouse moves away from the starting point).
Is there any way this can be done in Captivate? Thanks.

Hello,
Welccome to Adobe Forums.
Software Simulation (Automatic Recording) create slides on event based (Keyboard button press or Click on Mouse)
When you draw something it will not show you the drawing at the time of recording, for that you can use Video Demo
Thanks,

How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?

How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?
How can I replace newScale text strings with custom values?
All newScale text is customizable. Follow the procedure below to change the value of any text string that appears in RequestCenter online pages.
Procedure
1. Find out the String ID of the text string you would like to overwrite by turning on the String ID display:
a) Navigate to the RequestCenter.ear/config directory.
b) Open the newscale.properties file and add the following name-value pair at the end of the file:res.format=2
c) Save the file.
d) Repeat steps b and c for the RmiConfig.prop and RequestCenter.prop files.
e) Stop and restart the RequestCenter service.
f) Log in to RequestCenter and browse to the page that has the text you want to overwrite. In front of the text you will now see the String ID.
g) Note down the String ID's you want to change.
2. Navigate to the directory: /RequestCenter.ear/RequestCenter.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/newscale/bfw.
3. Create the following sub-directory: res/resources
4. Create the following empty text files in the directory you just created:
RequestCenter_0.properties
RequestCenter_1.properties
RequestCenter_2.properties
RequestCenter_3.properties
RequestCenter_4.properties
RequestCenter_5.properties
RequestCenter_6.properties
RequestCenter_7.properties
5. Add the custom text strings to the appropriate RequestCenter_<Number>.properties file in the following manner (name-value pair) StringID=YourCustomTextString
Example: The StringID for "Available Work" in ServiceManager is 699.
If you wanted to change "Available Work" to "General Inbox", you would add the following line to the RequestCenter_0.properties file
699=General Inbox
Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
String ID File Name
0 to 999 -> RequestCenter_0.properties
1000 to 1999 -> RequestCenter_1.properties
2000 to 2999 -> RequestCenter_2.properties
3000 to 3999 -> RequestCenter_3.properties
4000 to 4999 -> RequestCenter_4.properties
5000 to 5999 -> RequestCenter_5.properties
6000 to 6999 -> RequestCenter_6.properties
7000 to 7999 -> RequestCenter_7.properties
6. Turn off the String ID display by removing (or commenting out) the line "res.format=2" from the newscale.properties, RequestCenter.prop and RmiConfig.prop files
7. Restart RequestCenter.
Your customized text should be displayed.

I've recently come across this information and it was very helpful in changing some of the inline text.
However, one place that seemed out of reach with this method was the three main buttons on an "Order" page. Specifically the "Add & Review Order" button was confusing some of our users.
Through the use of JavaScript we were able to modify the label of this button. We placed JS in the footer.html file that changes the value of the butt

Is there a way to draw a straight line from one point to another?

Is there a way of drawing a straight line from one point to another please?

Yes. First click on this icon:
Now select the line drawing icon:
Now press a shift key and drag your mouse on the image to draw a straight line.
These instructions are for Windows system so you need to adapt the method for Macs. I can't afford to by an Apple Mac!!!!!
Good luck.
