can't choose just one line segment at a time

Post by forestraven »

In past PSP versions, when I drew vector lines I would be able to click on just one of the lines to edit or move. Now in PSP X6, when I draw several lines and then just try to pick one of those lines for editing, it insists on treating them as one item. The lines don't even have to be touching each other. I click on one and all of them get highlighted into one box, making it impossible to edit just the line I want.
Is there any way to change this as it is beyond frustrating? I don't want to have to create a separate layer for each and every line.

Try drawing each line on separate vector layers.

What previous versions of PSP did this work best for you? I'm not entierly sure what you mean, so maybe if I played with an older version I might get a better idea. Even better if you could make a video of the old way.
