Linking two different paths with pen tool or other: HOW?

The question is simple yet important: I have drawn path 1 and
path 2. I want to joint them, the way you join in every graphic
application like Illustrator (cmd+j) or FreeHand. If I try to clik
on the ending point of one of them nothing happens and I can't find
a command to join them in some other way.
So, does someone have any suggestion or shuld I think taht
this is impossibile to obtain?
Thanks

Flash's drawing engine is different than other vector drawing
programs. Easiest way in flash is to
use the Selection tool (black arrow) and turn on "snap"
(little magnet icon). Then drag one point
close to the other and they will snap together ;)

  • The feature that i need most...do not activate paths with pen tool

    If you have to add one thing in illustrator...
    Make optional NOT to add new paths to an unselected anchor point with the pen tool.
    I never want to activate paths with the pen tool
    Arrow tool=select
    Pen tool= add new points
    If i want to add new segments to a path, i'd select it first a selection tool.
    To my knowledge, Illustrator is the only vector application that doesn't follow this convention
    In theory,activating the paths with the pen tool should speed the drawing: However when working with illustrations that combine open and closed paths, or if we want to start a new line from an anchor point,  we have to lock, unlock or put in layers in order to avoid to activate unselected paths:
    That's very slow and frustrating, specially when in other apps, you can create complex illustrations in just one layer and with no lock/unlock due a more precise control over the paths.
    I have mentioned this feature before, but every time i face a project with a mix of open and closed paths, is a major problem
    Please change this behaviour or at least, make it optional.

    Yes, it has to be removed in two places and someone who has the authority might take action upon my mentioning it again.

  • Lost bezier handle on closing path with pen tool

    Can any of you please instruct me how to avoid losing the first point’s backwards bezier handle when closing a path with the Pen Tool?
    This is a longtime annoyance for me, but I cannot rule out that I simply have failed to find the proper way of turning off this behaviour.

    I just did!
    See my last post with the picture. I rotated not just the anchor point but the straight line that it was coupled to.
    Steve.
    Steve, you can rotate anchorPoints and adjacent straight segments all day long, and you will still not be replicating the behavior and intent of FreeHand's Connector Points.
    We're not talking about rotating straight segments here. (I would hope that everyone knows you can do that.)
    Forget rotating things. Draw a path with a curved segment and an adjacent diagonal straight segment. The straight segment has no extended handles; only the curved segment does. Now adjust the length of the handle of the anchorPoint that joins to the straight segment in such a way that you cannot break tangency of the curve with the straight segment. In other words, the handle is always constrained to the angle of the adjacent straight segment.
    Don't bother coming back with the workaround of scaling the handle. That still does not ensure tangency.
    Example: This is Fontographer (FreeHand's progenitor). The highlighted point at the bottom of the motorycycle's skid plate is a Corner Point. The segment to the left of it needs to be curved, while maintaining perfect tangency with the straight segment to the right of it. In the inset, the Corner Point has been converted to a Tangent Point, and its handle is being dragged out (all with one selection tool, I might add.) The handle cannot be dragged out at any angle other than that which is tangent to the right segment.
    That's just an example of converting a pre-existing Corner Point to a Connector Point. But now consider ensuring tangency fluidly as you draw with the Pen. In Illustrator, click to place a CornerPoint. Click or clickDrag to place a second anchorPoint oriented at any angle from the first point such that you are guaranteed that the first segment is straight, and that the next segment will be curved and tangent to the first segment. Can you do that in Illustrator?
    While we're at it, note that in FOG, as in FH, you always know what kind of point you are dealing with. Corner Points are displayed as squares, Curve Points as circles, and Connector Points (Tangent Points in FOG) as triangles (regardless of whether their handles are extended or retracted).

  • One point circle path with pen tool

    I have heard or people drawing a circle path with one point and dragging or something like this.  I would really like to be able to do this! Is this possible?

    Absolutely just hold down the shift key while dragging one of the ellipse tools. Add the Alt|CMD key then circle center will be where you start dragging from.  Marque ellipse tool or ellipse tool. Selection can be turned into path.  But the Ellipse tool is better for its a vector tool. Can create shapes layers, Paths and fill pixels... Pen Tool circle is hard but you can use the pen tool to edit the circle path created with the ellipse tool.

  • Path with Pen tool- Color

    Is there a way to enhance (change color) of the path generated with the Pen tool. I don't mean "stroking" the path after the path is completed. I mean the original outline of the path with the Pen tool. I have a rather completed photo which I am having  trouble seeing the path as I am generating the path.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    I think I see what you mean... it is a fine line and unlike in other applications, I'm pretty certain I'm correct that you cannot specify a colour for it.
    I can only suggest, and I don't know if this will help, but you could make the layer your complicated photo is on temporarily less opaque so: lighter in effect. Not actually lighter and not a permanent change you understand. I don't know how well you know PhotoShop so if you need me to explain exactly what to do, just say, no probs. I'll explain, it's easy.
    I'm not sure it will help, but it's all I can think to suggest I'm afraid. I'm sure if anyone has a better idea, they'll be along soon to tell you about it :-)
    Edit... ah... just beaten to it by Marlo with a better idea, lol.

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • Fixing paths after drawing with pen tool?

    Afer you draw a shape with the pen tool and you are not happy with the way you drag the curves and drew the path, do you do anything more with the pen tool at that point or do you later fix it with the Direct Selection tool to manipulate the anchor points to fix it?
    Thanks.

    Access to the direct selection tool works only when you clicked on it before choosing the pen tool
    If you select the direct select tool before you choose the pen tool it will be accessible by holding the command/control key but if you have the selection tool selected first and then of course it shows up you can in CS 4 and 5 also then hold the command/option Tab key to toggle the direct select and selection tools while still in the pen tool.

  • Problem with Pen Tool CS5

    Hi,
    I just got Photoshop CS5 and I'm having a bit of trouble with the pen tool - namely, I can't see the path I'm creating.  In CS3 I could clearly see the line between two points but in the new program the line is nearly invisible making it very difficult to create the path.  Is this a setting I can fix?
    thanks

    I was having 32 bit while I upgraded from CS3 to  CS4. The only problem with CS4 that time was with pen tool.Though I cannot precisely recall , I can say it t was very lazy and very frustrating and this was resolved totally after shifting to 64 bit.--If urs existing system is 32 bit try with 64 bit

  • How do you change the color of the path the pen tool makes?

    There must be some way to change the color of the path the pen tool makes from that grey color to something that will contrast with the image underneath. I found one thread about this from 2010 or so and the answer led to a dead link. This seems like it would be a very helpful feature that would be easy to implement. Someone please tell me in 2014, after a zillion version of photoshop have come out in the past 30 or so years, how do we do this? Thank in advance.

    Why? When you zoom in too close sometimes it become too pixelated to see what's going on and the point on the pen become to close to each other. Why can't you change the path to a color so that it doesn't blend into the image you're trying to trace? Why is the unchangeable color one of the most likely colors to become invisible on most images? So frustrating!

  • Slow down when processing image clipping in photo shop with pen tool

    Adobe cs5 slow down when processing image clipping use with pen tool. The path is applying after few seconds when we draw on the image. My system supporting 4 GB memory with 64 bit.

    The main thing i use paths for in photoshop is extracting objects from photos.
    Other uses include stroking paths with the paint tools. For example, if you had
    a powerline to remove, one could trace the line with the pen tool and then stroke
    the path with spot healing brush set to content aware fill.

  • Can I have smart print eprint on two different computes with only account

    Can I have smart print eprint on two different computers with only one account???

    Are you talking about accessing an ePrint account from various computers? Or having  HP Smart Print on multiple computers?
    ePrint account information is kept at the site. You can log on it from anywhere, from any computer. Just go to the sire and click on Sign in and enter your password and email address. You can have multiple printers on one user account at ePrint Center (EPC). But printers can only be registered on ePrint Center to one user account.  If you have an ePrint cable printer you can create an account at this link here. 
    HP Smart Print does not require an account you can download to an Internet Explorere browser (versions 6-9) and use it with no registration.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • My wife and I have two different accounts with apple, and want to share a database.

    Let me start by saying that we both just moved from under a rock and started using Apple and Itunes. 
    I have a 4S she has a 4.  We both created an account before using Itunes.  I set up itunes on our home pc (XP) without thinking about her wanting/needing to share the pc for syncing and loading music to our phones.  I dont want to plug her in until I am sure we wont mess anything up. 
    Is there a way we can use one pc and two different devices with two different accounts without a divorce.  The majority of cds were hers, so i'm already on her bad list
