Newbie to vector art, using CS2.

I want to draw a "V" shape– just two intersecting black lines.

I can accomplish this by making TWO single-line shapes, and manually aligning them so that they intersect. But I’d rather just draw a single shape that has three points.

When I use the pen tool, click in 3 different corner points, and turn on stroking– I don’t get a V shape, I get a downward pointing triangle. The program automatically fills in the third side of the triangle.

How to I turn this off? Should I not even be using shapes at all?

Look at he Options Bar. Make sure you have the Paths icon selected rather than the Shape.
