Hi, I am having a little problem with the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator CS2. When I create a new document and use the pen tool, everything works great and I can see the anchor points after each stroke. I saved the file as an AI and closed it.. when i reopened it and wanted to continue my document, whenever i made a stroke with the pen tool, i cant see the anchor points (they are there, but invisible i think) how can i make them show up after each stroke again??
thanks.

Are you on a PC or MAC? Apple H or go under View>Show Edges. That might be it.

I'm on a Mac, and thanks, the Apple H worked perfectly. I'm in my first year of graphic design and this was the first time we're using the pen tool so I'm still trying to get the hang of it.. thanks again :)

No problem. Glad that was the issue. I know there are many times when I hit a button and can't figure out what the heck I did. Enjoy designing!!

AppleH is very easy to hit when using appleG to group. If it drives you crazy, change your keyboard shortcut settings.
