I just downloaded PSP 9. After drawing a circle I wanted to add a node. 
Just as in PSP 8 you have to press the control key while moving the 
cursor over the contour of the circle. However, nothing happens. In PSP 
8 you see "Add" appear on the screen as a sign that you can add a node. 
Help tells me that the same should happen in PSP 9, but it doesn't. Any 
idea what I have to do to add a node?

Thanks,

Walter

Are you by chance using those new shapes tools rather then the ones in pre 
set . The presets work as before

I used the ellipse tool to draw a circle. After that I selected the pen 
tool (edit mode), pressed the control key and moved the cursor to the 
point on the contour where I wanted to add a node, exactly the same as 
in PSP 8. It doesn't work, I can't add a node.

To add some further information, I also can't edit existing nodes. It 
seems that PSP 9 doesn't recognize nodes at all.

Ron & Dave use Adobe Illustrator for their vector work.

If you are using the new ellipse which I think you are right click and 
select convert to path. Then you can edit as a pre set shape like you did in 
8. the same shapes as you had in 8 are in the preset shapes that's the last 
in the fly out (key P )

You are right, it worked. Thank you for your help.
