Couldn't delete Anchor Points in Illustrator.

[steveshuckart]

Why can't I delete anchor points? Is there a fix for this? I read about installing older versions and I tried that. Still doesn't work. How on earth can you have a problem with one of the most basic tools in AI?

Steve,

Are you clicking them with the Delete Anchor Point Tool, or what happens if you do?

Apologies, Monica. I never opened these messages up from back in 2020. Obviously I figured a work around. I believe I just loaded a different version of PS. Anyway, I've never encountered the problem since, even with an updated version of PS. Thank you. Best regards, Steve

Srishti, thanks for responding. I just loaded another version of PS. I'm not sure if it was a bug or just my computer being the problem, but it went away after I loaded a different PS version. Regards, Steve
