Please use the convert anchor point tool on an anchor point of path

whenever i try to pull out a path i get this error
i'm new to illustrator

Hello,
Could you please check if you do not have 'Snap to Grid' turned ON and 'Snap to Point' unchecked in the View menu? If yes, please turn ON 'Snap to Point' or uncheck both. Please let me know your observation.

  • I am getting this message: "Please use the add anchor point tool on a segment of a path" -- need help!

    Hello guys,
    I am new to illustrator and am trying to trace one of my scanned sketches on Illustrator CC. I have been watching tutorials on Youtube.com and have followed every step, but when it comes to using the pen tool, I receive a pop up message reading, "Please use the add anchor point tool on a segment of a path." I researched Adobe forums and came across another discussion with someone who had the same problem. After making the changes that people suggested to the other person's discussion, the problem still occurred with me. I am still getting the same message even after making sure I have deselected Snap to grid, etc. Can anyone please help me out!?

    It sounds to me like you're using the Add Anchor Point tool instead of the Pen tool. If you are trying to trace a scanned sketch, you'll be creating content from scratch in which case you want to use the Pen tool. The Add Anchor Point tool can only modify an existing path, it can't create one. Switch to your Pen tool and see if that helps.

  • Does the Bone tool work with strokes created using the pencil or line tools?

    I have a working bone rig in a document(CS4) that I created using a SINGLE pencil stroke, and applying the armature to it.  Object drawing was off and it was a single piece with no part being a  symbol.  This was accomplished TWICE for two stick figure arms.
    However, when I tried the same thing in a new document, I couldn't apply bone to the pencil stroke or the line stroke.  After going back into the earlier document(where it was still functional) I tried creating a new armature using the exact same technique.  But this time Flash wouldn't allow it.
    Having failed every additional attempt, I'm wondering if Flash may have glitched somehow the first time, allowing this to work when, typically, it doesn't.  Or could I have possibly missed a step somewhere that caused it to fail each attempt at a recreation.

    I agree, it is sometimes difficult to click the sweet spot. Here are 3 suggestions:
    Pay close attention to the cursor icon. It will change when you're over an anchor or direction point.
    Try turning on "Smart Guides". They can be a nuisance, but sometimes they're helpful.
    Use the "Convert Buttons" on the Options bar. They may take a bit longer but they're full-proof, plus, you can convert or delete multiple selected points simultaneously using this method.

  • Lightroom 4 and 5 my program constantly freezes while using the crop and straighten tool

    In both Lightroom 4 and 5 my program constantly freezes while using the crop and straighten tool with horizontal images. Im running Lightroom on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac with 32 GB of memory with OS 10.8.4, this problem has gotten worse and worse to the point where the crop tool is unusable. Please help!

    Alright,
    no replies so far! Anyways, here's some more information which is leading me to the conclusion that the bug causing the effect described above is a combination of Apple's SMB implementation of Mavericks and the way Lightroom is actually using SMB network access:
    I did another trial by connecting a USB hard drive to the USB port of my router (Netgear). The connection is quite slow, but moving one of the folders in question (see my 1st post above) to the shared drive connected to the Router made Lightroom on my Windows machine to see the photos again, when I told Lightroom where to find the moved folder!
    Everything was working as expected, on the Windows machine again! Moving the folder back again to the Mac Mini fileshare was causing Lightroom on the PC to get blind again for the pictures trying to sync or import. However, accessing and modifying a photo was possible again, like it was before the trial. So it's only the sync and import function having a problem!
    I also did some trial in re-building ACLs and access rights on the file server with no luck. So there's got to be a functionality in sync and import of Lightroom which is using a certain SMB feature which is not supported by Apple's SMB implementation!
    Any thoughts or hints?
    Thanks!

  • So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher ...

    I have a 160GB Gen 5 that I bought when first released back in the day when they were $400. Through a number of changes, the most recent being the advent of the Convert Higher Bitrate Songs to 128bit AAC feature, I decided to look at what more music I could store. After all was said and done, I ended up with a bit of a disaster with cover art not being properly applied to the music being played. I decided to *restore the ipod* based on suggestions in the discussion boards, and equally important was following the hints and tips here.
    http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp
    The advice is especially important in very large library situations to ensure you have uniqueness in the albums you want to display. Hadn't really given it much thought until I had the ability to see the individual albums for the 40K songs on the iPod via the cover art view.
    Finally the point of the post...
    *So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher Bitrate option now available in iTunes 9.1?* The specs on my computer are not highend by any stretch, but it's no slouch, and neither of the CPUs are ever pegged. At this point I've lost count of how much time it's taken, but the load is going on 3-4 days. With some breaks in between because I need to check each incremental load to verify there is no cover art corruption, correct bad tags and such, but for the most part the loading is visibly slow, and I'm sure the conversion is the cause. I'm not really complaining at this point, but there is clearly room for improvement. And of course unless there is a redo involved in which case I will get quite cranky.
    *I would like to hear the experiences of others.*
    Finally to lend a bit more credence to the performance concern, my 32GB iPhone 3GS for only about say 28GB of music takes about 24 hrs to load from a 2.2GHz dual core intel laptop, again using the convert higher bitrate option.

    With AC power adapter it takes 3-4 hours for a full charge. With the USB charger it takes 9-0 hours for a full charge. I am not happy with them removing the AC charger and other accessoreis at all. It's business but it still stinks.
    I know I would rethink my purchase but would most likely end up buying the Micro anyway

  • How can I use the "Copy and paste" tool in order get stamps in the same position in different pages (Acrobat XI for PC)?

    With Acrobat 6.0 I was able to copy a stamp in the same position (I mean "exactly" the same one) of different pages just by using the "copy/past" tool.
    Now I am using Acrobat XI and it seems like it is not possible anymore: I am copying a stamp and I am trying to past it in anoter page, but it appears in the center of the page (or wherever it wants to...).
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you very much. I'll be waiting for you message.

  • VTO-4400 No database has been discovered. please use the enterprise managem

    Hi,
    I am new to Oracle Enterprise Manager. I just installed Oracle8i on Windows 2000 Server. I am connecting to OEM as sysman. When i try to open database applications (e.g. Tools - Database Applications - DBA Studio) from Oracle Enterprise Manager, it gives error:
    VTO-4400 No database has been discovered. please use the enterprise management console to discover atleast one database before starting the application.
    Can anybody tell me how to connect to the database?
    Thanks,
    Prutha

    Having said all that, a colleague has suggested we just limit the amount of RAM available for the EX2010 DB cache
    Then it won't have to start releasing RAM when the backup runs, and won't throw SCOM alerts
    This attribute should do it...

  • How do you connect lines for a drawing in order to use the live paint bucket tool?

    Hello! Im fairly new (okay not really) to using adobe illustrator
    I used the Image trace tool to outline this drawing of Captain America but unfortunately the lines arent connected and therefore
    messes up my colouring completely when I use the Live Paint Bucket tool.
    Is there a way to connect the lines so they are closed when I colour it? Or is there another way to color this drawing?
    Help would be greatly appreciated!

    Those gaps are very wide. Draw some paths and apply no fill, no stroke to them.
    Then make the live paint. In case the live paint already exists, you can go into isolation mode and then draw the paths. Or draw them and use Object > Live paint > Merge

    Hey KEBENNETT, 
    It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally. 
    I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:

    Using the content aware move tool, I want to move an item from one image to another image but it does not seem to work. I think I need two layers on one document so how do I do this

    Good day!
    A simple Paste does not work for you?
    It should place the clipboard content as a new Layer which you can then move around.
    If there is any chance that the elements need to be scaled, rotated etc. I would prefer to place them as Smart Objects (File > Place …) and do the masking that is specific to the images themselves in those.
