Drawing curves
You create curves by dragging the pen
tool in the direction you want the curve
to go. The following instructions explain
how to draw curves. See also About
direction lines and direction points.
To draw a curved path:
1
Select the pen tool.
2 Position the pen tip where you want
the curve to begin. Hold down the
mouse button. The first anchor point
appears, and the pen tip changes to an
arrowhead.
3 Drag in the direction you want the
curve segment to be drawn. As you
drag, the pointer leads one of two direc-
tion points.
The length and slope of the direction
line determine the shape of the curve.
You can adjust one or both sides of the
direction line later.
