Hello, is there any way to make a path in the shape of a "Y"? I can't seem to figure it out. When I try, the path either just jumps over and changes the direction, or it starts a whole new path all together.
Using your pen tool start at the bottom and make a point, then holding your shift key down move up and make another point, then move up and over to make the point for one of the tops of your "Y" and then move to either the right or left to make the top point. Using your add point tool add a point to the top line then drag just that point and snap it to the second point you made. You will have an overlapping line but that shoudn't be visible. Adjust your top points to even them out, using the grid should be helpful with this procedure.
You cannot have a vector that goes in more than one direction at once (think of the vector as a mathematical graph expressing a formula, there's only one y-value (pun intended) for each x-value). As a result, a vector cannot split into multiple paths and still be one entity.
To start drawing from the middle spot of a half-y, you could turn off auto-add-delete from the preferences menu to avoid clicking on an anchor and having it get deleted.
I had a feeling that you couldn't really do that. My dilemma is that I am trying to make a road that splits in 2 directions. I am using the road style that you (itchybug) helped me create. I can start a new path, but when I apply the style, they are not blended, as a fork in the road might be. I suppose there is no easy way to do this without drawing out each intersection separately?
