Converting a shape to editable curves
The conversion of QuickShapes to curves provides you with a starting
point for your own shapes (below), whereas converting text to curves is
one way of incorporating editable letter-based shapes into designs.
Converting an object into curves cannot be reversed later on!
To convert an object into curves:
1. Select your QuickShape or text object.
2. Click
Convert to Curves on the Arrange tab.
With the
Node Tool enabled (Drawing toolbar), edit the curve
outline by dragging selected nodes.
The conversion process loses all of the special properties inherent in
QuickShapes and text.
