You try to edit a shape's points but nothing happens. Which is the most likely reason?
AYou are in Prototype mode instead of Design mode
BYou pressed Esc instead of double-clicking
CYou are editing a text layer, not a shape
DYou forgot to double-click the shape to enter Vector editing mode
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Identify why points don't move

    Points only move in Vector editing mode, which requires double-clicking the shape.

  2. Step 2: Check other options

    Pressing Esc exits vector mode, editing text layers doesn't allow point moves, and prototype mode disables editing but the main cause is not entering vector mode.

  3. Final Answer:

    You forgot to double-click the shape to enter Vector editing mode -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    No vector mode = points don't move [OK]
Quick Trick: Double-click shape first to edit points [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Trying to edit points without entering vector mode
  • Confusing Esc key as entry to vector mode
  • Editing text instead of shapes
