Selected control points turn green.
You don’t have to select every control point in the shape; you can make a partial selection
to resize only a portion of the overall shape. The center of all selected control points
displays a small green crosshairs box that shows the position of the selected control
points relative to the center handle.
3 Do one of the following:
• Drag any of the four corners of the selection box to resize the shape relative to the
opposite corner, which remains locked in position.
• Option-drag the selection box to resize the shape relative to its center control (visible
as green crosshairs).
• Shift-drag the selection box to resize the shape while locking its aspect ratio, enlarging
or reducing the shape without changing its width-to-height ratio.
