unnecessary points. This might occur
when you draw with the Quick Curve
tool or create a shape from a selection.
To delete an anchor point:
1 With the Shape Selection tool ,
select a shape.
2 Choose the Remove Point tool
from the toolbox .
3 Click the anchor point you want to
delete.
The anchor point is deleted, but
the path remains connected.
Use the Remove Point tool to delete anchor
points.
Adjusting Curvature
The angle and length of the wing
determine the curvature of the
segments on either side of the anchor
point. The longer the wing, the deeper
the curve. The result of moving a
wing depends on whether the anchor
point is defined as a smooth point or a
corner point. For information about
smooth and corner points, refer to
“Converting between Smooth and
Corner Points” on page 376.
To adjust a curve:
1 Choose the Shape Selection tool
from the toolbox .
2 Click a shape to select it.
If an anchor point’s wings are not
displayed, drag over the anchor
point to display them.
3 Drag a wing handle to set the
curve you want.
Tip
•
You can also adjust a curve by
dragging a line segment with the Shape
Selection tool.
