Hi @ka_linking,

Thank you for reaching out. I'll try to help you with this. I'll share the procedure and you can tell me if you're following it as it is.

• Select Pen tool.
• Click on Artboard.
  (Pen tool changes to selection tool if it is over an anchor point) 
• Move the cursor away from the point and click where you need the next anchor point. 

Here is the GIF depicting this workflow. Please let me know if this is how you're using it.  

Pen tool + Anchor points

If this is not what you're experiencing, can you please capture a short video (Steps to capture video) and share the link with me after uploading it to Creative Cloud or Dropbox? I'll help me assist you appropriately. 

Awaiting your response. 

Thanks,

I can do that because whe i put the first anchor point the tool automatically change to selection tool... I can solve that... Apparently the bug happens when the computer Is running out of hard drive space. Anyway thank you for the help.

I have exactly the same problem, but my hard drive has enough space... What else can I do about that?

If you draw a shape (ie. rectangle/ellipse/polygon) and double-click, can you manipulate it?

[Tobias K..]

No that is actually not working as well. ...

OK, in that case I think it may be worth re-installing XD
