Sticky Keys! This is a cool timesaver tip that I learned from Eric K. Thanks, Eric!
Some common ANIMATE Drawing Tool shortcuts:
Brush - Alt + B
Contour Editor - Alt + A
Select - Alt + V
Cutter - Alt + T
Line - Alt + N
Paint - Alt + K
Pencil - Alt + Y
Zoom - Alt + Z
Transform (Animation) - Alt + Q
When you press down a key, the tool temporarily changes to whichever tool you want represented by that key. When you de-press the key, it changes back to the original tool. Examples:
DRAWING and EDITING strokes
I toggle between my default BRUSH (Alt + B) and hold down A for Contour Editing and V for moving/scaling.
EYEDROPPER and FILLING
I toggle between my default PAINT (Alt + K) and hold down I for selecting colors from the screen

great blog big thanks.
ReplyDeleteyep cool things that animate gives you i'll add little something that is a must for me this toggle shourt cut :
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + A
will enable or disable the Real-Time Antialiasing
this is huge there also an option in the preference panel called Render at this Factor Times the Scene Resolution: this is may be 1 or two this represent the quality of the zooming for example if u zoom at 600% make this factor 7 or 8 then when u enable the Real-Time Antialiasing and zooming at 600% the drawing WILL NOT PIXLIZED Amazing but take much memory
this things are so helpful when u drawing .
hope u find it good .
SoSo - thanks for the shortcut. This helps! I have my Anti-Aliasing Render factor set to 10 but sometimes I zoom in really close and there is still some pixellation. These days I have the Anti-Aliasing turned off most of the time.
ReplyDeleteHey Lili,
ReplyDeleteMichael Dunn here. How's things? I love your blog! I'm just trying out the PLE version at the moment.
But this sticky key concept isn't consistent.
For example if using the brush tool (Alt + B) you can't access the pencil tool by holding down Y or the line tool N.
Plus if using the pencil tool (Alt + Y) you can access the brush tool by pressing B but can't access the line tool with N.
Are these just bugs in the PLE version or is this meant to be?
Keep up the excellent work!!
Mic xo
i got a question
ReplyDeletehow can i get the settings back to normal (default), simply the way they were from the beginning
can you create a shorcut for "remove contour stroke" and "remove extra stroke" ?
