4 When the selected points are highlighted, rearrange them as necessary by doing one
of the following:
• To move one or more selected points, drag them where you want them to go.
• To move one or more selected points using that shape’s transform control, press the
Shift key while you use the transform control.
Note: Using the transform control without the Shift key pressed modifies the entire
shape, regardless of how many points are selected. For more information on using
the transform control, see page 553.
To add a point to a shape:
1 Click the Edit Shapes button.
2 Shift-click the part of the shape where you want to add a control point.
A new control point appears on the shape outline where you clicked.
To remove one or more points from a shape:
1 Select the point or points you want to remove.
2 Do one of the following:
• Click the Delete Knot button in the Viewer shelf.
• Press Delete.
Those points disappear, and the shape changes to conform to the remaining points.
To convert angled points to curves, and vice versa:
1 Select the point or points you want to convert.
2 Click the Spline/Line button to convert angled points to curves, or curves to angled
points.
An optional step is to set the Show/Hide Tangents button to All or Pick to view
tangents as they’re created.
To change a curve by editing a point’s tangent handles:
1 Make sure the Show/Hide Tangents button is set to All to view all tangents, or Pick to
view only the tangents of points that you select.
2 Make sure the Lock Tangents button is turned off.
