How to enter coordinates when drawing Pen Tool?

Hello and immediately apologize for my bad English.
I have a question - how to enter coordinates for a point that has been applied to a drawing? For example:
1 point
X = Y = 37 cm 22 cm
2.point
X = Y = 38 cm 35 cm
ETC

Can you give any details on this?

FCP - Quits when using pen tool to enter nodes in the motion tab

Hi all.
I'm encountering a persistent problem with FCP unexpectedly quitting on both version 4.5HD and version 5. The problem occurs when I open a clip from the timeline in the viewer and access the motion tab to adjust the scale of a clip or the position of a clip with the pen tool. I can enter four nodes successfully with no problems, but if I then go back to the clip or open a new one, I can enter maybe three nodes maximum before they cease to register, then the beachball appears for half a second and FCP quits with the "unexpected" message.
This problem occurs across all machines whether I'm running FCP by itself or with other applications running in the background. I am using 10.4.6 on my laptop (iBook G4 with 1GB of RAM and FCP 4.5HD), 10.3.9 and FCP 4.5HD on an eMac, 10.4.6 and FCP Studio 5.0.4 on a G4 Tower ...
Has anyone experienced a similar problem, and does anyone have any thoughts on causes/fixes for it?
Thanks for reading.

Hi John,
Thanks. I figured it out so there’s no need.
Aloha,

How to select a shape from pen tool for paint bucket

I was under the notion that I could make a shape with the pen tool and if I closed the the shape it would then be selected in a way that would allow me to color the interior with paint bucket.
However, when I splash the paintbucket inside my shape, it paints the whole layer, not just the part inside my shape.
Obviously I don't understand how it is supposed to work.
Apparently I've gone at this the wrong way.. I want to create a freeform shape, that once created will be a selected region in the same way a rectangle or elips would.
What is the best way to do that? I'm shooting for thought bubble sort of shape, something along the line of the outline of an egg, but with a tail at one end.

Added tips from Tip Merchant ($200 consulation fee)
- on mac - command/ numeric keypad Enter turns the path into a selection. Option delete then fills.
- an action can be setup to bring up Fill Path from the Path panel menu. Just pressing enter fills with FG color
These are ways to avoid he paths panel altogether. Best way may be to use the TINY fill path icon in that panel as was pointed out by John

Right-click when using pen tool (Illustrator CC 2014)

Am I imagining it or did I used to be able to right-click to stop drawing with the pen tool?
How can I do this in Illustrator CC 2014 as it seems a bit frustrating to have to keep pressing P.
Any suggestions gratefully received

Thanks Jacob,
Nothing generally, it just seemed natural to me, sort of like lifting the pen off the paper at the end of a line.
Also, I am usually holding a glass of wine with the other hand

How can I get the Fireworks pen tool to disengage from an open path shape (and stay disengaged)!

I am so frustrated! I can't get the fireworks pen tool to disengage when I am finished creating an open path shape (double clicking the end-point isn't working). The only way I can disengage the pen tool is to click on a different tool, BUT ...if I do that (i.e., click on a different tool), and then go back to the pen tool (with the intent to create another open path shape), the pen tool automatically engages the last point of my prior open path shape ... and ... no matter what I do, I can't get the pen tool in Fireworks to stop doing this with my open path shapes.
If anyone has any helpful advice, it would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
(note: I prefer not to have to go back and forth creating open path shapes in Illustrator then bring them into Fireworks, but if all else fails, I suppose I'll have to as a work-around.)

Have you tried holding the Command key and clicking away from the last point? The Command (⌘) key will bring up the Subselection tool; clicking on the canvas with it will allow you to disengage from the path. Once you release the key, the Pen tool will return and you can begin another path.

How is image resampled when using Crop Tool Presets?

If I use the Crop Tool preset of 4 X 6 inches on a 8 X 10 inch image of the same resolution, what type of interpolation does PS use to reduce the image size? I am reducing the size of a finished multilayered file to insert it into a greeting card template.
I know that when using the Image Size dialogue, you can choose whatever type of image interpolation you want, like bicubic sharper for reducing the size of an image. Can you do the same with the Crop Tool? Thanks.

chris -
could this be included in the option bar to change the resampling per instance instead of a prefs setting? I set up some actions to change the prefs for up and down scaling and then revert to the default pref setting. But it was never convenient so I don't use the actions.
or maybe just and pref to use "smart scaling" that chooses the interpolation method based upon whether it is up or down scaling.

HT1212 how to enter passcode when screen is broken

I just bought a Iphone 4s from a guy off of craigslist and am trying to restore it to make sure it works before I replace the screen and it prompted me for a passcode which I do not know and the screen is busted all up anyways and the lcd doesnt work. what can I do?

You can't enter a passcode if the seller has Passcode Lock enabled on the iPhone.
If you are being prompted for an Apple ID and password, this means the owner had Find My iPhone enabled with their iCloud account settings. This is called an activation lock and the iPhone cannot be restored on another computer different from the computer used for syncing the iPhone witthout knowing the password for the Apple ID.
If the seller if legit, he should provide you the password for his Apple ID in order to restore the iPhone. He can change his password afterwards. Or he can remove the iPhone from being registered with Find My iPhone under his Apple ID without giving you his password.

How do I enable automatic +/- pen tool when hovering over a path/anchor with the tool in AI CC?

I've noticed that in Illustrator CC (17.1) the pen cursor doesn't automatically let you add or delete an anchor point anymore, when in Pen tool mode (P). It used to be an automatic feature in CS5, where a + or - sign would show up whenever I hovered over a selected path with the tool. Help please?

here it is in CS5. i couldn't say if they've changed it for CC, but I can't imagine it's gone completely.

Touch pen tool appearance

How can I get the touch pen tool to appear on a file if I'm opening an image. It only appears now when I open a blank work space.

Yanina,
What happens if you File>Place (the PDF contents, if any, of) the troublesome file in a new document, then try the Pen Tool?
If that works, you most likely have a corrupt file.
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any of the) corrupted one, as already suggested above, to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the second one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

Need help with Pen Tool Stroke.

Hello,
Since my friends have been trying to teach me how to make swirls using the pen tool and stroke, i've been the only one who cannot do it. I make a path with the pen tool, I right click then click Stroke path however, it just seems to do nothing. I get the option but when I click on it, it doesn't do what its meant to. I am doing it exactly how my friends are doing it too, thats whats frustrating. I have had so many problems with Photoshop, im a beginner.
I have been able to resolve this problem by clicking on Paths on the right to the layers, but I can't use the simulate pressure feature, unless there is another way.
Also, if there is any tutorials anyone could link me? Im hoping to set up a business when im old enough, for creating logos and facebook covers and im not sure how to go about this.
Thanks guys
(I use Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7 from Creative Cloud without a tablet.)

Hi,
Have you installed the latest updates for photoshop cs6 by going to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6?
Resetting the photoshop preferences might possibly help as well:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
If you use the method that you mention where you do it from the paths panel (right click on the path thumbnail in the paths panel) and then click on the Simulate Pressure, you also have to have
one of the pressure options enabled in the the Brush panel (Window>Brush) such as under Shape Dynamics>Size Jitter and then set the drop-down to Pen Pressure before using Stroke Path.

Pen tool icon not working

When the pen tool icon is pressed a pencil with a circle (with a line through it) appears. All the layers are unlocked. I am attempting to create a "cut through" for a design. I would normally press the pen icon, the pen would appear and I would click along the desired shape and all the points would connect. None of this is happening. Any ideas?

Denise,
You may try to start from the top of this:
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
