Question about Pen Tool

Jun 25, 2012 1:38 AM

Why does the Pen tool have feedback (ie. the "+" and "x" icons when near a shape etc.) only when starting to draw a path, but not after that?

 

For example, I have 2 parallel lines at some distance apart. With the Pen tool, I want to draw a path that unites their middles.

I click on the first line to set an Anchor point; then I keep drawing and setting Anchor points. But when I get near the second line, there is no more "feedback" on the Pen tool. So I don't know if my next Anchor Point I set will end exactly on the line (as I want) or "overshoot".

 

Is there any way to know?
