What's the easiest way to make a square or circle with only the outline visible?  I know how to make a perfect circle or square using the shape tool, then add a stroke, but don't want the center part, just the outline.

 

Thanks,

Chris

Set the fill to empty by clicking the white circle with the red line through it (next to the eyedropper).

Thank you so much. I woke from a dream and realized I should try setting the fill to empty. Your responses have confirmed this is right.  Thanks again.
