My Strokes Link in Adobe Animate!

[MexicanDylantre]

This happened a while ago, and I don't know why. I decided to just animate after 2 days of doing nothing, and when I started a new animation, my strokes linked together when they touched! Before, whenever I drew my body, arms, and legs (I draw stickman), they wouldn't link. When I duplicated the keyframe and wanted to move the arm, for example, I could just delete only the arm and draw a new one. Now, I can't just delete the arm, because when I select the arm, it selects all the strokes that connect to it. Why did this happen all of a sudden? Can someone please explain?

Hi mate,

Just find the Object Drawing mode button and switch Object Drawing ON.

You can switch it ON or OFF depending on what you need.

Hey Nick,

THANK YOU SO MUCH (sorry caps), it worked! I probably accidentally hit J on my keyboard which turned it off. I haven't animated in like 2 months, and I was trying to find a solution. Good thing I turned to the Adobe Community for help. Thanks to you, I can start animating again!

Happy animating, mate!
