Question

Eraser brush changes lines from straight to curved

Hi everyone

I'm drawing straight lines with the line segment tool and then erasing parts of them and the eraser brush keeps adding vector points to the lines left behind and making them all wiggly. photos attached of post erased lines, and some pre erased lines on the edges of the image.

is this a bug or a setting i can change?

thanks!

also just curious

is anyone else extremely annoyed by grabbing corners to resize or move in CC? I keep doing all the new tricks they added instead of just a simple resize. especially with the circle.

    Instead of using the Eraser tool

    Use the Path Eraser tool

      thanks, that does work,

      but it's a little more annoying to use.

      the path has to be selected and i have to be exactly on the line?

      Admittedly, it is more annoying.

      Yes, the path needs to be selected.

      But you don't have to be exactly on the line. As long as the bottom or the main body of the pencil are on the line it will erase. Doesn't erase if the very tip of the pencil is on the line.
