Reposition any one point and all points will be modified accordingly.

Note: The Transform Control Points command cannot be applied to groups of control
points selected across multiple objects.

Tip: You can modify points on a mask and points on a shape simultaneously. However,
you must manually select the mask in the Layers tab before its points can be added to
the selection.

Adding and Deleting Control Points

If you did not create enough control points to make the shape you need, you can add
more to the existing shape. You can also extend or close an open shape.

To add control points to a selected shape

1

Select the Adjust Control Points tool.

2

Do one of the following:

• Double-click or Option-click the edge of a shape to add a new control point.

Note: To add control points to a B-Spline shape, double-click or Option-click the B-Spline
frame’s edge, rather than the edge of the shape itself.

• Control-click the edge, then choose Add Point from the shortcut menu.
