Moho12, freehand drawing issues

[synthsin75]

Doesn't Ctrl+P (Draw > Peak, probably Cmmd+P on a Mac) and Ctrl+M (Draw > sMooth) plus the Curvature tool give you something similar to pre-12 curve behaviour? (You can still turn on/off display of the Bezier handles in Pro, but they are not necessary)

I see (in Pro) Edit > Preferences has the option Legacy curves for new layers under Layers/Objects and the option Classic point editing keyboard shortcuts under Tools. So, it looks like you should be able to get close to pre-12 pre-Bezier curve behaviour if desired?
(Unless I've missed something, which is quite possible)

Yes, peaking or smoothing a point disables the custom beziers (pre-v12 behavior).

Legacy Curves has nothing to do with beziers. Legacy Curves were the curve definition used in, I think, pre-v7 or so ASP. And classic point editing just changes keyboard shortcuts for things like deselect, etc..

Thanks - it is always good to learn something new (or old, in this case ).

Never can know too much.

Diana,

Can you describe your Freehand tool settings when drawing the heart shape?

What are the Freehand tool settings when you draw the heart?

Well yes, with ctrl+p I can uncrinkle a pooint, but that slows down the worklfow considerably if I have to cleanse each shape this way prior to be able to work with it.

I tried to check these options. It dnd't change anything. Newly drawn shapesstill come with crinkled corners and bended lines.
