When using the pen tool I can't draw a simple straight line - it doesn't let me just click two points. Basically I click the first point, click a second point and that should be my line - however it doesn't let me end the line there - continues with another anchor point as if making a shape...do i need to uncheck some setting? Can't figure it out!!

  • No if you truly wanted to do what you described youd use the line tool (btw line tool is under appreciated, but it really packs a punch one you discover alt numeric input). Or hit enter. You can also any point exit the pen tool by selecting a different one. Like hittiing a on keyboard

Two quick replies:

1) there is a Line Tool for simple straight lines to make that fast: see the selected tool below.

2) using the Pen Tool, once your second point is drawn, click Esc and your line is complete.

Press Enter when you see that there's enough clicks done.

You can also simply press Esc to stop adding another point.
