CorelDRAW: Shaping objects 109
by enclosing them with a rectangular marquee box, or by enclosing them with an
irregularly shaped marquee box. Freehand marquee selection is useful when you want
to select specific nodes in complex curves.
When a node is selected on curved segments, control handles are displayed. You can
adjust the shape of the curved segments by moving the nodes and control handles.
Usually, a control handle is displayed as a solid blue arrowhead (left). When
a control handle overlaps with a node, it is displayed as an unfilled blue
arrowhead beside the node (right).
The Shape tool is the standard tool for moving nodes. You can also use the Pick and
Bézier tools to move nodes.
Manipulating segments
You can move curved segments to change an object’s shape. You can also control the
smoothness of curved segments.
You can change the direction of a curve object by reversing the position of its start and
end nodes. The effect is apparent only when the ends of a curve object are different. For
example, when an arrowhead is applied to the end node of a curve object, changing the
direction results in moving the arrowhead to the start node.
Adding, removing, joining, and aligning nodes
When you add nodes, you increase the number of segments and, therefore, the amount
of control you have over the shape of the object. You can delete selected nodes to
simplify an object’s shape.
