Converting to curves

You can create new shapes by converting geometric shapes (created using the shape tools) into curves and then adjust the curve's nodes to make new shape variations.

The shape is converted to curves to allow the horizontal edges to be modified.

The Convert to Curves operation is not limited to geometric shapes. You can also convert text to curves too.

Convert text to curves in action — Text converted to curves and then nodes removed to modify bowl, counter, and aperture of the letters.

To convert to curves:

For shapes, tap To Curves on the context toolbar.
For text, choose Convert to curves from the Commands Menu.

Segments and nodes can be modified by using the Node Tool.
