  Using the direct Selection (white arrow) moving on an anchor, they appear, but even if the anchor is selected the blue anchor box disappears as soon as the mouse moves away, so its impossible to select a handle.  I can still pass an anchor, but it is difficult to select two anchors attached paths, etc., somehow as lead a blind man.  If I click on a path, and then hold down the command key, hollow anchor box appear and the cursor turns into the selection tool.  Trough areas appear on the selection using the selection tool (black arrow).  I'm pretty direct selection tool was working properly last week (am a casual user).

• Cannot see the whole picture when you move into a smaller template with the direct Selection tool

  Hello!

  I recently got my laptop cleaned in preparation for examinations and such (I'm in high school). As I belong to art class, when Basic programs have been re-installed we also got the Adobe programs, but we got the CC 2015 version instead of the version CS5, we had earlier. After a stressful week, I finally had time to sit and work on my projects aside, but I quickly found a big problem which stops at my work. After re size the image at the size I want, I don't see the whole picture when I move in the smallest area with the direct Selection tool more. Photos I use are generally quite large, that I've tried to work with now are 451mmx338mm after the scaling down and I have a 'framework of standard departure' to 60mmx15mm (I make the bosses), so now I have basically has to guess my way toward a good composition...

  Can I make it work again?

• Direct Selection tools issues

  My selection tool does not work properly. I can select an object and resize it, but I can't move it. I have reset the preferences and even reinstalled InDesign, without success. The objects are not locked and they are not on master pages. If I use the direct Selection tool and select all the external points of the object, I can move it, but this is obviously not an ideal job around! This problem occurs with the new AND old files. I'm working on a big project, so I HAVE to get this figured out ASAP. Help, please!

• Direct Selection tool. PS CC hangs at each time a modified form. Suggestions?

  I am currently using the latest version of PS CC - set to update to the latest "bugs" and all.

  Whenever I use the direct Selection tool, I select points of a shape, the PS crashes and closes automatically without fail.

  Are there any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this? Thanks for any help

  It's the only time wherever it crashes?  What are your system specs and OS?

  Take a look on your GPU settings in Preferences > performance?  Try the ' use GPU acceleration?  Also look in the advanced settings and try to change those.  If it helps, then look to update your video card manufacturer's Web site card reader.

• Direct Selection tool

  with the practice of the last week, I got good enough using the pen tool to make choices...

  I was wondering, when I go to use the direct Selection tool to refine my curves...

  Pointers when I try to be as specific as possible when I want to refine my curves, sometimes in the way...

  Y at - it a keyboard shortcut that I could press to hide the pointers, while I'm trying to place my curves?

  I hope pfaffenbichler and Christmas answers can help you. Currently there is no option to hide the pointer when you use the direct Selection tool.
