Re: Ghost points ?

The Freeway pen tool is driving me crazy. Sometimes adding a point can turn the colors inverted and sometimes anchor points apear without connections to to the object drawn. And when you add a curve point it doesn’t stay on the line and its anchour points is not aligned with the figure. Please Softpress do something about this feature. Take a look at Illustrator or Photshop.

Select the scissors (ciseaux) tool, hold down the option key… and click on the path where you want the new point.

I hadn’t found that tip. Points are usually added to paths with the pen tool. Could you make it more intuitive and/or add a tool tip somewhere?

Hi Nick !

What you say I had understood but my question was else : I try to
show what happens :

that is a path : that is a point : o here is the place where I click with the path edit arrow + option
key : x here are the ghost points that I get : O

here my demo :

before :

oo

after :

O O oxo

with more complex pathes I get sometimes but not always more ghost
points ; with previous selected points I get “selected” ghost points
(full, not hollow) ; I give you a screencopy to show you what I mean
but I don’t know if you can receivge it here :

That I have found because before your first answer I had tested all the possible combinations to add a point ;-) except the scissors !

What do you mean about the idea of a table with all the mouse-key combinations ?

Ghost points ?

Hello,

I don’t understand whot is the meaning of the combination : option- click-path editing selector (on a path, not into a point) : I get ghost points out of the path !

Option-click on the path with the scissors tool. Instead of breaking the path at that point you’ll just insert a new point.

hello,

How can I add a point not at the end of a path, but somewhere along the path ?
