Hi,

Working on logo yesterday and opened it this morning, select the layer or object as I always do and the path or anchors are not visible.
No info in the pdf manual. Just says click Select tool. etc etc

Correct answer Bill Silbert

Try using the keyboard shortcut Command (Mac)/Control (PC)-H. This unhides the selection and should make the selections visible.

I found the CtrlH in View> Edges.
Wonder why its called "Edges". Isnt it a "Path"?

Not a known bug. Probably just an accidental errant keystroke.

Thanks for prompt reply,
That did the trick.

Is there any idea why Illustrator turned on this utility, or is there somewhere in the Commands tabs like a Hide/Unhide thingy?

Why I ask is that I cannot recall changing that setting before I shut down yesterday, and I am interested to know whether this is a bug with the new CC or I've just hit a wrong key before shutdown.

As I research tutorials & manuals first and finally post questions as a last resort, Ive been on this 2 hours now searching keywords and forums etc.
and if its my fault I have to deal with it, but if its a common bug/question, I fear how many other bugs Ive yet to enjoy, and should I not bother using due diligence and post a question every time something wont work.
Ta Bill
