Editing Element Control Points in a Path Graphic

If your path graphic contains curves or polylines, you can edit the control points of these elements. If changing the control points of the element causes it to overlap the path graphic boundary, the boundary is redrawn to include the changed element.

1. Select the path graphic you want to edit.

2. Do one of the following:

   1. On the Edit menu, click Edit Path.

   2. Slowly double-click the path graphic.

      The path graphic appears in element mode.

3. Select the curve or polyline element within the path graphic for which you want to change the control points. You can also do this by selecting the element in the Elements List.

4. Click the element again. The element appears in edit mode with its control points.

5. Drag any of the control points to shape the curve or polyline.

6. Click outside the path graphic on the canvas. The path graphic is shown in path mode.
