4. Click a new point for the hot endpoint grip.
The line stretches to accommodate the new endpoint location.
5. On the same line, click the midpoint grip to make it hot.
As you move the crosshairs, the entire line moves. Using the STRETCH grip-editing
mode with a line's midpoint “stretches” the entire line to a new location.
6. Click a new point for the hot midpoint grip.
The line moves to the new midpoint location.
7. Hold down the Shift key. On one of the lines, click one of the endpoint grips to
make it hot.
8. Still holding down the Shift key, click one of the endpoint grips on a different
line to make it hot.
Two grips on two different lines are now hot because you held down the Shift key
and then clicked both grips.
You can create more hot grips by holding down the Shift key and clicking
more grips.
9. Release the Shift key and re-pick any one of the hot grips.
Releasing the Shift key signals that you're finished making grips hot. Re-picking one
of the hot grips establishes it as the base point for the stretch operation.
10. Click a new point for the grip.
All the objects with hot grips stretch based on the displacement of the grip that you
clicked in Step 9 (see Figure 10-11).
