AI CS5 Shapebuilder Tool Help!

Graphic Design
#1

Yeah, yeah. I’m using old software.

Anyhow, can some help me figure out how the guy in this video (5:44 mark) draws “freehand” as opposed to ONLY straight lines with the shapebuilder tool? I can only draw straight lines from wherever I click. This makes it tough to combine shapes around a circle, etc.

Not sure if this is functional in CS5 as opposed to newer versions.

The freehand drawing was introduced in the CC versions.

Use the pencil tool, not the pen tool.
