  • Smoothing Bezier corners…. how?

    Posted by David Lincoln brooks on January 12, 2012 at 3:54 am

    Hey Vince,

    When you convert an anchor point to have 2 Beziers on either side…

    Is there any command for smoothing out the angle of the two Beziers once you’ve shaped their curves the way you like it?

    For example, let’s say curve left is a more acute angle than it should be to complement curve right…

    Does ILLUSTRATOR have a “smooth angle at anchor point” command?

    Thanks, Dave

    If you’ve converted the curve to an angle or simply just have angle points, press Shitf+C or select the Convert Anchor Point Tool within the Pen Tool buttons, then click on the anchor point and drag it to turn it back into a curve.

    Conversley, if you have curves and you want them to be corners, you can again use the tool to click on the anchor points.

    I hope this is somewhat close to answering your question.

    Vince
