You can toggle between the Shape Selection tool and any of the shape design
and editing tools by holding down Command (Mac OS) or Ctrl (Windows).
Toggling makes it convenient to quickly select a wing handle or anchor point
before editing it.
Drawing lines and curves
You can draw straight lines or smooth, flowing curves by drawing freehand. You can
combine the lines and curves to create shapes. The lines and curves that you draw are
known as Bézier lines.
Shapes created with straight line segments.
Shapes created with curved line segments.
Working with Bézier lines
Bézier Lines can be straight or curved, and they consist of anchor points connected by
line segments (or paths). When the path is a curve, “wings” extend from the anchor
points. The wings are represented by a straight line and are tangent to the curve. The
wings have control “handles” on them. By dragging the wing handle, you can change
the curvature of the line segment.
