Select or move a shape

Use the Shape Selection tool to select shapes with one click. If you convert a shape into a bitmap element by simplifying the shape layer, the Shape Selection tool will no longer select the shape (use the Move tool instead).

If a layer contains multiple shapes, you can reposition all the shapes together using the Move tool. However, if you want to reposition a specific shape in a layer, you must use the Shape Selection tool.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Select the Shape Selection tool  in the toolbox.

    • If another shape tool is active, click the Shape Selection tool in the options bar.

  2. To select the shape, click it.
  3. To move the shape, drag it to a new location.
