When you select an object for curve reshaping, you can drag an anchor's Bézier control points. This type of reshaping creates curved edges. The further you drag a Bézier control point, the more you curve an edge.
To use curve reshaping on special objects such as text, rectangles, ellipses, or arcs, you must first convert them to curves.
Displaying an Anchor's Control Points
An anchor's control points are visible only during curve reshaping. If an object is not in Curve Reshape mode, you can put it in Curve Reshape mode by selecting the object, clicking the Edit Tool 
, and choosing the Reshape Curve command.
To display an edge's control points, click one of the edge's anchors. Because there are Bézier control points for each anchor on a edge, you must decide which anchor's control points you want to use to reshape the edge. After a little experience with control-point reshaping, this choice will usually be obvious.
Bézier control points look like small checkerboards. Dragging a control point changes the shape of the edge associated with the point. Control points are always connected to anchors. Think of a control point as a magnet that attracts the edge. When you drag a control point, its anchor does not change position.
When you move the mouse pointer over a control point, Designer draws a preview line between the control point and its anchor. This lets you quickly identify the anchor to which a control point is connected.
