i was wondering if anyone knew a way to draw 1 pixel wide lines with the pencil tool using just the keyboard arrows (as opposed to the mouse which is less accurate). i have searched all over and cant find a keyboard shortcut to do something like this. i know that shift will make a straight line but i want to go beyond that. any help would be appreciated.
Whoa...that would be a awsome way to make Text....Only way ive ever done that...whuz zoomin in at 1600X and editing with pencil....all i know doh :blink:
ya same here nextday, but it gets time consuming to keep zooming in and out to check your progress, i wish there was an easier way
Yeah it would SOO kick ass if there was... :D
that would be pretty sweet, but i dont think there is a tool liike that
I just make a selection with the rectangle tool.
Oh, and if you have zooming in and out, go to window> new window or something like that so you can have one zoomed in, and the other full view.
if you have two windows, do both get updated at the same time? if so that would be realy handy. Been thinking of getting two monitors and if I did, then I could realy use that feature.
Im not sure, never really used it lol.
yes, they do both get updated at the same time. you could always use the "navigator" window as well if you wanted.
ahh but the navigator window is sooo small.. is there a way to make it bigger?
me me i know!
well, its not all keyboard but i use this when making my pixart - click mouse, hold shift and drag - voila!
you can also join up points easily by click ng on one point then moving mouse to the other point, hold shift and click - voila
also if you click down on the rectangular marquee button, a line one comes up - very useful for:
drawing straight lines
counting how many pixels in a line (trust me, so hard without it)
Oooh, I have a way!!!
Start>Settings>Control Panel>Accesibility options....
Then, click on the mouse tab, tick the mouse keys box, play with the settings, click OK, and voila!!... works too :P
If you have your XP set up normally, (I like everything old style), then just skip the settings bit, as the control panel is in the start menu...
you mean like change the right click so that it presses the cursor key?
thats jsut stoopid..
{EDIT} jsut saw what it did... that is quite clever actually
Yeah..it works...finnaly somthin to draw lines :P
now, aren't I clever???
ALL HAIL MEH!!!!
you come up with the starngest soultions for things that usually include stuff on windows for handicaped peeps..
..like when you came to mine and at like 1 in teh mrning you said that to reduce the noise we could use the on screen keyboard :D
whoa that sounds awesome, i need to try that, i dont have my laptop atm tho :(
db, didn't i say i already know how to use the shift key to make straight lines...thx for tryin thoQuote:
