Pen tool problems

i want to draw like this. (it is easy to previous versions

)

But i can only draw like this. (Alt key is not working)

  • While the tools in X7.3 are better, X7 has been a tool disaster.
    • Hi Leo,
      1. I haven't yet set up DRAW X7.
      2. However, in all previous versions I could never get your original curve by dragging the Pen or Bezier tool. I always had to convert all nodes to Curves using the Shape tool. I then converted individual nodes to one of the three choices.
      3. In your second drawing, it looks as if the node which is selected should be converted to a cusp node. You can then drag the handles to position the curve or move the curve itself.
      4. Isn't this possible in DRAW X7.

      • Phil, Leo is correct, it’s busted in X7, previously you could use the alt modifier to change it to a line.

        The good news is the Bezier modifiers work.

        Alt = Move
        C = Cusp
        S = Symmetrical
      • i also update to 7.3 but not working, when press alt key to make corner it shows / not v alt key is not working in pentool corel x7 and 7.3 both are buggy... so sad
        • Try pressing the shift key.
          • i already use Shift , Alt, Alt + Shift, ctr+alt, Ctr+Shift but only shows '/' not 'V' not working any combination. x7.3 i already update but not work, in x6 it is working with alt best.
          • This is known issue. I hope it will be fixed in hotfix or at least next update.
