Why is it autoconnecting my line?

[real summit]

Is there a way to disable this?

[plain cargo]

Is it photoshop?

[real summit]

Yes

Otherwise I would be in the illustrator server

🙃

Previously didn't happen to me

[plain cargo]

It happens more time than I can count you know 🙂

[real summit]

Yeah I getcha

[plain cargo]

Sometimes even software that isn't Adobe

I never had that, just checking now

[real summit]

I pity you

Must be some hard work

[plain cargo]

No worries, that's why I ask first 😂

Can you show a whole window? Particularly your settings on the top contextual bar?

Close screenshots never really help identifying the issue

[real summit]

For sure

[plain cargo]

Also it's it a recent version?

[real summit]

still on 2022

but somewhat recent yes

[plain cargo]

OK, just checking and it doesn't auto close for me (I would be mad if it did). Checked with the curvature tool and standard pen

[real summit]

That's odd

On previous versions it didn't use to do this

Ok I managed to fix it

Found the issue

[plain cargo]

What was it? I'm curious?

[real summit]

I'll replicate it so you can see what I was doing wrong and hopefully tell others

I had the pen tool on path

And then I clicked shape

and removed the fill

when I do that it autocompletes

what I need to do instead is change the pen tool to start on shape

[plain cargo]

Oh yes!

makes sense

[real summit]

as a result it'll not autocomplete

That's a super odd choice from adobe but whatever

I don't remember it being like this before

It should definitely be a checkbox or a setting of some kind this is super unintuitive

Anyways much appreciated! Sorry for being a bother.

[plain cargo]

there is nothing in the preferences (I checked) but let's be honest, I am using paths way more often than shapes, and I'm more used to the way Illustrator handles the shapes anyway

[real summit]

yeah I usually work in illustrator

this is just for a thing that needs to be raster
