Changing Curves and Corner Points

If you retract the handle that extends out from a curve point, the next segment becomes a straight line.

To retract a handle:

1.	Drag to create a smooth curve point.
2.	Move the Pen cursor back over the anchor point. A small angle symbol appears next to the cursor.
3.	Click. The handle retracts back into the anchor point. The point is now a corner point with only one handle . Move the cursor back over a point and click to retract a handle along a curve.
4.	Continue the path with either a straight line or a curved line.

Tip

Click to make the next path segment straight. Drag to make the next path segment curved.

If you create a corner point with no control handles, you can extend a single handle out from that anchor point.

To extend a handle from a point:

1.	Click to create a corner point with no handles.
2.	Move the Pen cursor back over the anchor point you just created. A small angle symbol appears next to the cursor.
3.	Drag to pull a single handle out from the anchor point . Drag with the Pen tool over an existing anchor point to extend a handle out from the point.
4.	Continue the path with a curved line.
