Can I use angles in psp?

Post by VildaVargtand »

Hi
If I want to create for ex. a shape of my own (if I can do that, havent found any info on this either). I will need to be able to aply angles between two lines. Like a rectangel the angles are 90 in every corner.

But I have an object where i want to put a sticker on. The object has a shape that does not exist in the shape tool, then I have to make it my self and I want to save the shape to.

I have attached a picture on the shape I want to make.

Yes, the pen tool let's you draw vector shapes. Each click adds a node and between the two nodes either a straight line or a curved line can be created Once you finish the shape you can export it as a preset shape.

A shape like the one you show can easily be made as it's just straight edges. You literally just need to take the pen tool, click on each corner in-line, and when you close the shape you'll have a vector you can export as a custom shape. Very very easy.

Ok. Yes i can do that, but so where do I set the angle that I want between the two lines? For ex. if the angle between two lines is 130 degrees (approximately, made a guess) (the picture) How do i know its the right angle?

In the status bar, as you're dragging out a new node, it'll show the angle of the line you're creating. If you hold SHIFT it'll snap to 45 degree increments. But there is no specific tool or setting that lets you define the angle of the line you're drawing, no.
