Whenever I make a sketch of anything for some reason it will automatically make circles and they will appear on my sketch. Im not sure how to disable it from doing that or what exactly is happenning.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about this. If I am not wrong you are talking about these small round circles?

That definitely shouldn't be happening. Can you select these circles by using Selection tool? Will it be possible for you to share this file with us?

Regards,

Srishti

Hi, I am having the same problem. Unfortunately nobody ever reacted here. I usually use the Blob Brush Tool and it really happens a lot! When it happens it is important to see it quickly because the circles become part of the lines you just sketched and can't be deleted individually. It's really weird and also pretty funny because it's so weird.
