when holding in ctrl why the hell does the pen tool sometimes want to change into the selection tool and sometimes want to turn into the direct selection tool?!?!?!?!?! will some one please tell me, cause its driving me insane!!!
and why does the 'direct' selection tool act the same as the selection tool unless your holding in ctrl???????
oh yeah, and all of the transforming tools pancakeing SUCK... why the hell would they split the transform functions into different tools unlike in photoshop??? its freaking impossible to skew something .1" to the right!!!!!
i'd love to meet the person who made illustrator so i can punch them in the freaking face!!!!
AAAAHHHHHHHHHH.... i need to break something!!!!!

You know, for as much as I like Illustrator, there are times when I f'kn hate it too. Like when I want to cut a vector line off, so i click the scissors tool, click on the line and i get a message telling me i cant cut on anchor points or some other thing. No f**king crap a$$hole, i wasn't anywhere near an anchor point.

I know how you feel but I would choose it any day over FreeHand. I hate that damn pen tool, why the hell when you close a path does it go all over the place??? /emoticons/frusty.gif

Ah! I've got the answer.
The Pen tool remembers the last selection tool you've used. If the last selection tool you've used was the Direct Selection tool, holding 'ctrl' will bring that tool up. Vice versa for the regular selection tool.
Skewing, rotating, and scaling can be entered numerically for precise transformations.
As far as closing a path and doing weird stuff, I have no idea. Never happened to me before.

I was talking about closing a path in FreeHand (It's bugged me for years!!!).

I know what you mean, DZine! Then again, I *really* wish my garbage man could dump all of the garbage into the truck, instead of dumping half of it on my lawn...

Why don't you guys just pave your lawns? Then you don't have to worry about the grass, and clean up is easy! Just hose it off into the gutter.

I couldn't agree more, on the Illustrater front!!! Aaargh!
How do you reset the tools to the default settings!?! I really hate the fact that it remembers what you did last with the tool. I was playing with the star tool (never used it before) and i turned it into a circle... Can't get the bloody star back now! lol!

I thought you Mac users could always throw away your preferences and it would set back to default.
