    Default HELP!shape tools create many shapes & I only want one

    hi i am trying to create one square, circle or star...any shape yet when I click and drag it creates many of them concentrically. What option would I use to get it back to its default of one shape at a time? And if I click and create just one shape it has a little x in the center and won't let me fill it or anything? what is going on?Thanks for your time.
