To move anchors
or tangents on a Bezier curve
- Select the Move Tool ( ).
- -click
the curve and choose Control Vertex.
- Select the anchors or tangents you want
to edit and use the manipulator to move them.
TipWith an anchor selected
you can press the
and
keys
to select an anchor’s tangent points as well as adjacent anchors.
You can use the Bezier
Curve Tool to move tangents while maintaining the current
tangent angle (the angle between the two tangents).
To move tangents while maintaining tangent
angles
- Select
Create > Bezier Curve Tool.
- Select the anchor corresponding to the
tangent you want to move.
- + drag
the tangent.
The tangent moves but
only in the direction that preserves the tangent angle.
To scale tangents on a Bezier curve
- Select the Scale tool ( ).
- -click
the curve and choose Control Vertex.
- Select the anchor attached to the tangents
you want to scale and use the manipulator to scale them.
