Unable to create shape with pen tool

[Tour5CA4]

I am trying to create a shape with the pen tool. After Effects is not allowing me to select "Tool Creates Shape" and it is stuck in "Tool Creates Mask." Anyone know a solution or what I may be doing wrong?

Hi Tour5CA4,

Thanks for writing in.

Please make sure that there is no Layer selected/Highlighted and try to create the shape.

Let us know if it helps.

Thanks,

Nishu
