: Can I prevent the screen from scrolling when dragging a vector path in Illustrator? Sometimes, when I'm drawing a vector path with the pen tool, I need to drag the line further than I have
Sometimes, when I'm drawing a vector path with the pen tool, I need to drag the line further than I have screen space, and this makes the screen scroll down, which makes me lose focus on what I'm looking at.
Is there a keyboard shortcut or some way to prevent the screen from automatically scrolling downward (or whatever direction) and just allow me to drag it as far as I want?

What I tend to do is if I notice my path is beyond the window I hold Spacebar to move my window around without losing the ability to add on to my pen path. When you hold down Spacebar a small hand should appear while it's head down and once you let go the pen tool will come back.
I`m having the same problem, maybe this will help:
Just deselect your object
Zoom out a bit or scroll down
Then select pen tool again and
Continue at the last anchor point
No. Sorry Illustrator provides no feature to prevent scrolling. You may find the Navigator Panel helpful however.
