Curvature tool as a modifier key option to the existing pen tool



  • Found this on Instagram. This is something I've had in my brain but was unable to articulate until I saw this. I like the ability to let the pen tool offer a curve option even from a line with a cusp point. Illustrator calls it the "curvature tool".
    I don't think it necessarily needs to be a dedicated tool, but instead could be a modifier key used when making the path or held down afterward to show where the curvature would be?

  • @VectorStyler Thank you! this will be an awesome improvement. At the risk of beating a dead horse, I would prefer it to NOT be a new tool in and of itself because I think it would be something a user would need occasionally, but not enough to go switch to a dedicated tool to do so. Hence why I was thinking a modifier key option while using the pen tool would suffice. Just my opinion. You would know best what fits the VS scheme!
