Converting Path Points

Choose the Convert Anchor tool to convert path points to either smooth points (anchor points with direction handles) or corners (anchor points without direction handles).

To convert a corner point to a smooth point, simply click on the point with the Convert Anchor tool and drag to create direction handles around the point.

To convert a smooth point to a corner point, simply click on the point with the Convert Anchor tool to remove the direction handles.

You can also adjust the curvature of the path around a smooth point by dragging its direction handles separately.

Tip: Use the Shift - C keyboard shortcut to quickly select the Convert Anchor tool.
