adding nodes.

[Herb]

Hello, 

I am new at Designer and have the Workbook. On page 97 I try to add nodes to the pen line. But as soon as I click the pen on the line a new layer is created. So I cannot make a separate part to drag it up as said in the book. I have an iMac with system 10.12.6. with an Intuos 3 from Wacom. What is am I doing wrong? Than: clicking three times at the plectrum page 99 using Smart Mode I hover over the first point and click but the line does not close. I tried about 6 times and then it worked. Are these bugs? This is not fun learning Designer and forgetting Illustrator.

 

Hope to hear and best regards to you all.

Well, I found the answer myself. I did not do what the book says. Thanks to an example on Youtube I added a note with the node tool, did break the line and moved the parts aside and continued with the pen tool. So one frustration less.
