Making smooth curves
To convert a sharp join into a smooth curve:
1.
Double click the point handle,
2.
Or select the point handle and either:
Click the Smooth join
button, or "S".
The two curve handles become linked and move to opposite sides of the point handle. This may change
the shape of the curve.
Balancing curves
Balancing makes the two curve handles the same distance from the point handle, which gives smoother,
more symmetrical curves. To balance a curve, select the point handle, then drag one of the curve handles
with "Shift" held down. As you drag one curve handle the other one will move to be exactly opposite it
and the same distance from the point handle.
