Changing Curves and Corner Points
If you retract the handle that extends out from a curve point, the next segment becomes a straight line.
To retract a handle:
- Drag to create a smooth curve point.
- Move the Pen cursor back over the anchor point. A small angle symbol appears next to the cursor.
- Click. The handle retracts back into the anchor point. The point is now a corner point with only one handle
.
- Continue the path with either a straight line or a curved line.
)
If you create a corner point with no control handles, you can extend a single handle out from that anchor point.
To extend a handle from a point:
- Click to create a corner point with no handles.
- Move the Pen cursor back over the anchor point you just created. A small angle symbol appears next to the cursor.
- Drag to pull a single handle out from the anchor point
.
- Continue the path with a curved line.
