Pen Tool handles missing

Community Beginner ,
Dec 17, 2017 Dec 17, 2017

Hey,

I'm making some shapes using my Pen Tool by "draging" and after I'm done and I select whole shape, I can't see the handles. I do see one of them when I click a particular point before. But I want to see all handles in this shape. What am I doing wrong?

You will only see handles when you select one or more points. In the preferences > Anchor & handle display there is a setting "Show handles for all selected points". This might need to be checked. But then when you select all points of one shape you might still not see the handles. That's because of how Illustrator handles selections.

You have to click the point you are setting, and then drag the handles out from the center.

Still working on this...
