No "Size, Position, and Roundness" properties when creating a rectangle using the Rectangle Tool.

[Brumby17]

According to this tutorial (https://youtu.be/fi4IPysaTHo?t=26), after creating a rectangle using the Rectangle Tool (Q), there should be an object named "Rectangle 1" that contains "Rectangle Path 1" with properties such as Size, Position, and Roundness:

But when I try to do the same, I don't see those elements. Instead, the "Rectangle 1" object only contains "Path 1" with a property called "Path":

Is it a bug, or maybe I'm doing something wrong? I would appreciate any help.

You need to use Rounded Rectangle Tool

or using a simple Rectangle Tool, you can add Round Corners.

There are no Size, Position, or Roundness properties even when using the Rounded Rectangle Tool. Only the Path property is available:

I need to work with the Size and Position properties, not Roundness:

I don't know.

If I draw a rectangle (Q) while holding down the ALT key, I don't have Size, Position and Roundness.

But if I draw a rectangle (Q) without holding the ALT key, it's normal, I have Size, Position and Roundness.

Maybe try to double click on the rectangle button, it should add a rectangle with Size, Position and Roundness properties.

Holding down the Alt/Option key while using the Parametric Shape tool (Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Ellipse, etc.) creates a path instead of a parametric shape with all its parameters. Shape layers have worked that way since they were introduced.

You can also convert any parametric shape to a path by Shape Layer/Contentnts/Shape/Shape Path property in the timeline and using the Layer/Mask and Shape Path/Convert To Bezier Path menu or right-click on the Shape Path Property and create the conversion from the popup menu.

There is no way to convert a vector path to a Parametric shape.
