Newbie Ask: 1) Select Object? 2) Rectangle line thickness 3)delete path node

[Fran3]

Very helpful. Thanks.

Followup:

I asked... "How can I "re-select" the shape created with the path tool so I can perform additional edits?"

You answered "Generally you can activate the path tool, make sure the path is active, click on the path to show the nodes and handles. "

I use the path tool to create a closed path and stroke it... then use the rectangle selection tool to draw and stroke a rectangle elsewhere on the screen

Next I Open the Path Dialog Box and double click on my original closed path and see the nodes lite up on the path...

BUT... when I move one of the nodes it appears to actually be a copy of the original closed path as when the node is moved I can still see the original path below it ??

So, I apparently am not doing something right... my goal was to re-select the original path and relocate some of its nodes and modify the shape.

What am I missing?

Thanks again for the help.
