Tip
As you are dragging a path with the Direct Selection tool, you can also
press the Shift key to constrain the handles to a perpendicular direction,
which ensures that the handles are the same length.
Tip
If you wanted to adjust the direction handles instead of dragging the path,
and wanted to see the direction handles for all of the selected points, you
could click Show Handles For Multiple Selected Anchor Points (
) in
the Control panel.
10. Choose Select > Deselect, and then choose File > Save.
Deleting and adding anchor points
Most of the time, the goal of drawing paths with a tool like the Pen tool is to avoid
adding more anchor points than necessary. You can, however, reduce a path's complexity
or change its overall shape by deleting unnecessary points (and therefore gain more control
over the shape), or you can extend a path by adding points to it. Next, you will delete and
add anchor points to a path.
Note
If the cherry appears on top of other shapes on the page, select the cherry
and then choose Object > Arrange > Send To Back.
1. Click the Layers panel icon (
) to show the Layers panel. Click the eye icon (
)
to the left of the layer named “cherry” to show its contents (shown in the figure).
Click the Layers panel tab to hide the panel.
