Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 1090)

Note: Overlays must be enabled in the View menu (or the Canvas View menu) in order
to see the control points and spline of a shape. In addition, if Handles are turned off in
the View > Overlays submenu (or the Canvas View menu), you cannot see a shape’s Bezier
or B-Spline control points when editing. When editing shapes, make sure that Handles
are turned on.
Once you display a shape’s control points, you need to select one or more control points
to edit them.
While editing the control points of a shape, you can select another shape and remain in
control point-adjustment mode. This allows for quick modification of multiple shapes’
control points.
To select another shape in control point-adjustment mode
µ
While editing a shape using the Adjust Control Points tool, click an unselected shape in
the Canvas or Layers tab.
The new shape is selected in control point-adjustment mode.
