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.

Yes he's using a new version where it works differently.
You will have to multiple click instead of click and drag.
Guess it's one of the drawback of running old software.
But there are positives, some swear the Live Trace is superior to the newer Image Trace, and CS5 can run 3rd party plugin Scriptographer
