Adding pen tool buttons

[Riftvalley]

Hi, I cannot seem to add the pen tool button.

I know there is a general way to do this but it seems to elude me at the moment. I go to the button palette and can use the tool from there but would prefer that is was on the side bar.

Many thanks

Martin

Hi

hold down alt key then drag it off the button palette to the bar you want to add it to

Many thanks handrawn, simples!

I knew it was one of those buttons. The issue is that I have had to completely renew both desktop and laptop computers and getting them back to how I want them is a pain. For some reason using the touchpad on the laptop with the alt key didn't work but now I have connected a mouse it is OK (I don't know why using the touchpad doesn't seem to work.

If you are confident enough to tweak registry settings then there is also a registry entry that can restore the icon to the "correct" place on the path editing tools flyout bar. It is Options/FlyoutBars/ShowPenToolOnFlyout. Setting it to 1 (while the program is not running) should sort it out...

P.S. Usual disclaimers (be very careful, you can upset your machine so much it will need a complete Windows reinstall if you change the wrong stuff) about editing the registry apply...
