Question

Have line jitters in "accurate"-mode in pencil tool gotten worse with new Update?

I'm using the pencil tool quite a lot in "Accurate"-mode, but it seems like this mode somehow got worse wi9th the last Updates? Did they change anything with the pencil tool?

 

Does anyone suffer the same results while drawing with some speed?

There are these wired bumps in a lot of sections, which are absolutely NOT accurate.

 

I know I can smooth the lines, but that smoothes everything. For some drawings I really like the accurate mode - but not this way ...

Hi @Someone75

 

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with the Pencil tool in "Accurate" mode after the recent updates. It must be frustrating to encounter those unexpected bumps, especially when you're aiming for precision in your drawings.

 

Would you mind sharing which version of Illustrator you are using? Also, a small video demonstrating your workflow. We're here to help, just need more info. 

 

Regards,

Srishti

@Srishti Bali Tanks a lot for your quick answer!

I use Sonoma 14.5 with Illustrator 28.5

I does not matter if I use mouse or Wacom Tablet. Same results for different devices. This is really bad ...

Link to the video. I just draw circles with Mouse or Wacom Pen:

I just draw a circle. On an iMac Pro. That's it.

So any idea how to solve this issue?
