Note
If the pointer looks like instead of the Pencil icon ( ), the Caps Lock key is active.
Caps Lock turns the Pencil tool icon into an X for increased precision.
Click OK.
In the Properties panel, make sure that the fill color is None ( ) and the stroke color is Black.
Also make sure the stroke weight is 1 pt in the Properties panel.
The asterisk (*) that appears next to the Pencil tool pointer indicates that you are about to
create a new path.Note
When editing a path with the Pencil tool, you may find that a new path is created
instead of editing the original shape. You can always undo and make sure that you
finish back on the original path (or at least close to it).
