The next point you create will be converted from a smooth point to a corner point.
6.
Drag from point C to the red dot, but
don't release the mouse button yet
. When the
pointer reaches the red dot, hold down the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) key and
continue dragging from the red dot to the gold dot below the point. Release the mouse
button, and then release the modifier key. This splits the direction lines.
Note
If you find that the path you are drawing has a fill of white, some of the dots
in the template will be hidden. You can always change the fill to None ( )
for the path you are drawing.
7.
Drag from point D to the red dot, as shown in the figure. As you drag, pay attention to
the line segment between points C and D.
8.
Click point E, without dragging, to create a corner point with no direction lines.
You'll find that setting an anchor point without direction lines (a corner point) allows
you to set a point with no curve.
9.
For points F and G, drag from each point to the red dot to create curves.
