Hi 

I am currently using Illustator CC and do all my drawing (as they are free hand) with the help of alittle smoothness from Illustrator.

 

Currently when have a exisiting line and want to change the line, CC is drawing many many anchor points and making the line very jaggy.

 

In Illustator CS6 i could change the Smoothness and the Fidelity values, but it seems in CC you cant control the Smoothness values only the Fidelity values

 

Does anyone know how to fix this please?

 

Regards

Dion

After CS6, the smoothness and fidelity sliders were replaced with a single slider. Many bemoaned the loss of control this resulted in:
