Question

Can't add vector points to existing paths in edit mode

I’m not able add vector points to existing path. It only lets me manipulate the existing points. I’m on version 125.2.3 using the desktop on a mac.

In the previous versions, it would let add points in edit mode but now it does not.

Additional nuances:

  • It lets me add points to the paths I’ve created after the update, but only between two existing paths and won’t let me extend it beyond them.
  • It just lets me manipulate the existing on the old paths but can’t add points or extend beyond the “end points”
  • I have restarted both Figma and my computer twice. I have also tried in the browser but no dice.

Does anyone know where this option is in the new UI?

Hi ​@Deepa Prasad, Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
 

I'm trying to make sure I understand your request correctly, but from my testing, it appears that I can plot additional points and extend the end point.

I've made a video to show you. Is this what you're trying to do?

If so, here’s how:

  1. Select the existing Vector layer.
  2. Click the “Edit object” icon on the Design panel.
  3. Select “Pen” tool from the toolbar. Then you can add points to extend from the end point.

For more details, please refer to this guide: Edit a vector object

Hope this helps! Thanks again for reaching out.
