Important: Selected control points can only be moved—you cannot corner-pin them.
To rotate or scale them, you must use the Transform Control Points command. See
Transforming Multiple Control Points.
Modifying Shape Edges
You can also select the line between two points and move the edge of the shape without
affecting the rest of the shape.
To move a shape edge
1 With the Edit Points tool active, click any edge of a shape object.
The control points on either side of the line are selected.
2 Drag the line segment.
The distance between the two points remains constant, but the line can be moved freely.
Press Shift to constrain the movement horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
3 To release the selection, click anywhere outside the selection, or choose a different tool
in the toolbar.
Transforming Multiple Control Points
You can scale and rotate a group of points as if they were a single object by using the
Transform Control Points command. The lines connecting the selected points to unselected
points will move and adjust.
To transform a group of control points
1 With the Edit Points tool selected, drag a selection box around the points you want to
modify.
2 Choose Edit > Transform Control Points or press Command-Shift-T.
A transform box appears around the selected points.
