68 Lines, Curves, and Shapes
When you first break a curve the two nodes are in exactly the same
location and so the curve may still look as if it is connected. If you
drag one of the red node ends away you will quickly see the
separation.
Joining lines together
You can connect any two straight or curved lines to form a new line.
To join two lines together:
1. Select both lines by Shift-clicking with any selection tool.
2. Choose Join Curves from the Tools menu. The end control node of
one line is connected with the start control node of the other.

objects that you can instantly add to
your page, then adjust and vary using

hearts, spirals and other useful
symbols.
To create a QuickShape:
1. Click the down arrow on the
QuickShape button on the
Drawing toolbar, then select a shape from the flyout. The button takes
on the icon of the shape you selected.
