Editing Objects Part I
This operation functions in the same manner as rotation in that you can set the inclination to
occur as steps of 15° by pressing the Shift key during movement of the handle.
Editing Object Points
Draw offers a complete set of tools that let you accurately edit the contour of an object. As
we shall see, the functions related to editing points work substantially in the same way as on
curves. To make the most of these tools, you'll have to convert your objects into curves, as
will be described later on.
Direct operation
Some objects can be manipulated in 'Edit Points' mode without having to convert them into
curves. When you do this you act directly on the properties of the object. The objects
involved are defined by the presence of one or more extra handle points. When you
manipulate this handle (which is generally larger in size than the other selection handles), you
will obtain various effects. The mouse cursor takes the shape of a folded hand when it passes
over one of these points. Here is the complete list of the objects concerned.
Rectangle or square.
In this example, you can make
the corners more or less rounded.
Arcs or ellipses.
In this example, you can change
the associated angles. Arcs have
two control handles.
Circular or elliptical segments.
In this example, you can change
the position of the edge of the
segment.
