Add node to shape created by rectangle tool?

[RobertLF]

I'm looking at a 2018 tutorial on AD and at about 4:00 in the person shows how they create a rectangle with the Rectangle Tool and add a node to it using the Node tool.  When I try to do it and hover over the edge of a rectangle with the Node tool selected, I don't get the squiggly shape that shows that a node is about to be created.  After watching AD's Node Tool video and I was able to create a node on a shape I drew with the Pen tool but the video didn't show how to create nodes on shapes created with the shape tools (Rectangle, Ellipse, etc.).  Has this capability changed since 2018?  If so, what is the proper way to attach a node to a tool created with one of the shape tools?

Thanks!

It sounds like you didn't do the Convert to Curves that occurs at that point in the tutorial, right after the presenter draws the rectangle. That is required.

Ahhhhh, you're absolutely right!  Thanks again Walt!

I have a trial version of AD and it seems like a pretty good tool so I think I'll buy it.
