LOL oh boy, problem already

I've been read/scanning through the intro lessons, tips etc.

So now I'm on to the first lesson with the rotating egg.

I hit a snag making the egg. The instructions have you make the circle...then click the pen tool, click the top node, hold down control key and hit up arrow.

WELL...it's not working on my PSPX2.

control and up do nothing...I also notice when I click the top node I'm not getting the arrow line like the example.

If I try to drag the node it just moves both top and bottom.

LOL, don't feel bad Diane. When I try to do vectors in PSP 10, I can never get my things to work right.

Neo (Neophyte) is our vector queen and she can help you easier than some of us, but someone might come along soon who can help.

Did you right click and 'convert to path' first?

[neophyte]

I'll have to go look at it.

[piratelass]

right click and convert to path...no...would that be on the vector of circle before clicking pen tool?

[neophyte]

Hmmm....mine works. But if the handles aren't showing, perhaps your node hasn't because active.

On the tool palette, did you have create as a vector, connect segments, and show nodes all check before you made your circle?

right click and convert to path on the circle before using pen tool made it work!
