Drawing Aids Cannot be Resized

[active_friends4808]

I give it a solid 98% of the time, when I activate a drawing aid, there is no chance I can resize it or rotate it. The handles never come up to have that option. Sometimes, if I go in and just fiddle with different app settings for a while, the handles will pop up, but even then it is usually after closing and restarting the program 4+ times. 

Anyone know how to make these aids work properly every time. It is downright infuriating.

Thanks Michael, it suddenly occurred to me that posting sys info might lead to vulnerabilites, or is that silly? I am not tech savvy at all, so I'm probably overreacting. Thanks!

@geoffw33967700 I don't think there are any vulnerabilities in posting this content. But to  be on the safe side, I can delete the attachment for you.

Having the same issue here on Windows 11, neither clicking with mouse or stylus does anything to enable editing drawing aid (ie: resizing or rotating drawing aid). Frustrating. Please fix.

I'm merging multiple threads here with the same issue. @Anubhav M do you have any update regarding a possible fix or workaround on this issue?

This post is a month old, but I am having the same issue. Toggling between different tools and brushes eventually makes the box to edit the shape pop back up but this wastes so much time and is not a sustainable work around. Is this bug going to be fixed?

Test reply.

I have the exact same issue. Lastest version of Fresco. Resize handles disappears

I'm having the same issue, but only when I work with version 5.7.

I have 5.01 in my other computer and it works fine.

Any solution? I have tested the workarounds some people proposed but didn't work for me 😞

I have the same problem: During my drawing session today, the Stencil Editing Buttons in the Drawing Aids disappeared. I've tried restarting Fresco several times and using different tools, but nothing has made them reappear. As a result, I can no longer resize the drawing aids. Can anyone help me (us)?

I'm working on a Surface Laptop Studio 2 with the latest version of Fresco: 5.7.0. See the attached image.

I found a fix: I opened a new file and the drawing aids option had the option to resize. I then closed this new file and it works in my old file too!

But a new problem has arisen: the resizing options are there, but they don't always work and no longer disappear when the tool is activated!
