Illustrator > direct select tool:
How to disable this annoying 'pull the path' around feature(which you might want to use like once in a 10+ year career):
I just want to edit anchor points, not accidentally pull the path.
- I don't think I've ever used that, intentionally or otherwise - indeed, I had to try it out for myself now to understand what you were referring to.detritus
- this happens in affinity designer too, tho i'm too new to it to work out how to disable ithans_glib
- I don't want to use it, but when working quick and not being super accurate with my anchor point clicking I keep accidentally using it.shapesalad
- Illustrator forces you to work as fast an 80 year old...shapesalad
- < found solution. Export as svg, edit in Moho, reimport to illustrator, send to client. Basically - avoid Illustrator for path editing.shapesalad
- Don't you keep your hand over the left side of the keyboard, so you can just flip between selection and direct (V & A)?detritus
- As I say, I didn't even realise this was a feature, and I've used Illy day in and day out for years now.detritus
- V, A, shift+M & Escape are crucial for path editing (on top of ctrl & alt, etc)detritus
- I've actually found a use for it too - drawing shitty wireframes for things like rugby balls or broken zeppelins. very handy.detritus
- yep, I use V/A shortcuts etc. It's just being quick, I'm not 100% hitting the anchor points with the mouse, which would be fine if it weren't forshapesalad
- being near a path activates this pull path tool, which when working quick I accidentally do. Just want to disable that 'feature' as it's useless.shapesalad
- but never mind, Moho is 1000x better for illustration and path editing. Even though it's primarily for animation.shapesalad
- pulling the path is quicker and more effective than dragging nodes aroundimbecile
