Change Shape Tools

The change shape tools change the function of a vector from just a line to an arc or spline and vice versa.

Change to Spline Tool

The Change to Spline Tool changes a red control point to a purple control point by clicking directly

on the red control point. The purple spline point must fall between two red endpoints to see results.

Figure 7�11� Example Use of the Make Spline Tool

Change to Arc Tool

The Change to Arc Tool changes the yellow control point between two red control points to a green

control point. This change makes a regular line into an arc by clicking directly on the line itself.

The green point can then be moved to dene the radius of the arc.

Change to Line Tool

The Change to Line Tool changes an arc (green control point) or spline (purple control point) to a

line segment (yellow control point) between two red control points. Moving the yellow point will

move the entire line without changing the angle, rotation or endpoints.
