Can't draw a straight line after a Bezier curve

Post by Djard007 »

When "Connect Segments" is selected for the Pen Tool, I can draw a Bezier curve; but then drawing straight lines becomes impossible. I played with all the settings, after which I was able to simply continue clicking to draw a straight. But I cannot replicate what I did to correct the problem. So there is a remedy. In the manual, the essential step is omitted. Anybody know how to draw a straight line with the Pen Tool after a drawing a Bezier curve?

I found a workaround:

After drawing a Bezier curve, right-click in any part of screen -> point to "Node Type" -> Line After. PSP will now permit drawing a straight, without adding an uncontrollable curve.
