Hi josh, your right. Using the pen tool will require you to lock the star layer to prevent deleting the point. Using the line tool will solve the problem. I have updated it. Thanks.

The tutorial suggests using the Pen Tool to connect the top anchor of the star to the bottom anchor. The trouble is, when you initially click the top anchor, the pen tool auto-deletes the anchor point. I believe you have to use the line tool in addition to the pen tool. Could you clarify?

You can use both the line tool or pen tool. But make sure the lines snap to the star and don’t leave any gaps for it to work.

The tutorial works exactly as described if you use the Line Tool after making the shape- maybe it was a typo?

Yeah, how do you avoid deleting the anchor points with the pen tool?

the pen tool just deletes the anchor points.
