I can not fix a shape in an image

When I put an arrow or shape in an image and hit return they disappear. How do I apply them.

Correct answer Trevor.Dennis

Those diagonal red lines indicate that both fill and stroke are turned off

In the example below I have fill set to red and the stroke set to black. One or both of fill and stroke need to be set to a colour, or you'll see nothing.

Please include all pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, Paths, …) in the screenshots @jane-e already requested.

      • Do the arrows have a fill/stroke?
      • Is the layer they are on hidden by another layer?

       

      Please post screenshots so we can see what you are seeing. There are several possible reasons for this. Use the Insert Image button in a reply window.
