How to use pen tool to draw Quadratic segments?
-
Hi there I am trying to follow this doc: https://www.vectorstyler.com/documentation/shapes/drawing/ to create quadratic segments, I am on the mac.
I can see how to edit a shape to have all points be quadratic, but how do I actually draw using the pen tool to make all my curve points be quadratic and not cubic while using the pen tool?
The doc says:
"To draw a quadratic curve segment, first press the mouse at the ending location of the segment, and then hold the Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) key, while dragging the tangent node. This will create a quadratic segment, with a single tangent node."
If I hold Command on the mac down, it shifts me to the arrow tool, stopping me from doing any further edits of the curve. So I can't actually press Command and click on a node and drag, I do not get a quadratic curve point.
If I press Ctrl or Option and click, it does not create a quadratic segment either.
I tried to find a video of this but no luck, is there any way I can understand how to draw quadratic curves using the pen tool? I'm looking for a workflow that is similar to the 3-point serve system, I think quadratic is pretty close but without being able to figure out how to draw the points I am stuck!
Thanks for your help!

@razcrux I opened a bug on this, there might be some regression related to drawing quadratic segments.

@razcrux So this was disabled due to conflict with other modifier keys.
It is enabled now to the Option (Alt) key (updated the documentation also).
