I cant use live shapes properties only on custom shapes tool, it works fine on rectangle tool, ellipse tool, etc. I have looked but, I cannot find a way to fix this.

    Live shape properties work with rectangles, rounded rectangles and ellipses. Polygons, lines and custom shapes are not live shapes.

    Properties panel will not allow you to control some shapes after drawing. However if you want to draw a shape precisely, you can click on the canvas to type in Width and Hight prior to drawing, or use Width and Hight in the control panel after drawing the shape.

    That is how it is for me now when I use a custom shape

    But it used to look similar to this, and made things way easier to change

    Not sure what you are asking. Custom shapes are by definition not procedural (mathematically defined), so there can't be specific properties associated with them. You have a misunderstanding here.
