Shape Handling
Closing a shape
A shape is a closed object with no start or end handle. Only shapes can be color
filled.
To close a shape:
1. Create an open object with the end point handle
close to the start handle. All the point handles
(except the end handle) should be in their
required positions.
2. Position the pointer over the end handle.
3. Drag the end handle over the start handle and
release the mouse button. The two handles snap
together.
Or:
1. Create an open object with all the control
handles in their correct positions. Do not create
the final line segment.
2. Move the pointer over the start point. A +
appears to the right of the pointer when it is
over the start handle.
3. Click to create the final line segment and close
the shape.
Or:
1. Choose the SHAPE EDITOR Tool.
2. Click on an end point to select it.
3. Press the "" key.
Or:
4. Use the FREEHAND & BRUSH Tool to create the final segment.
Any of these closes the shape. If there is a current fill color, the shape is filled with
that color.
