Three Points Tool: Used to create selections, filled shapes, brush lines and vector shapes

Creating smooth lines


This tool enables the user to anchor the start and end point of a spline and use a third click to adjust the curve between these two points simply by hovering over the curve and dragging it into the desired position. To access this tool, click down and hold on the fit points tool, then select three points from the drop down menu.


Once the first two points are in place, and you have amended the curve between them, the tool automatically moves on to allow the next node to be anchored.

  1. Click the first and second point of the vector.
  2. Hover your cursor over the centre of that line. You will see it start to bend.

  3. Once your desired curve is achieved, simply click to define the shape.

  4. When the curve is defined, move on to the next point.

  5. Continue plotting and adjusting the curves as necessary, and press return to complete the vector.

Delete

Note: When drawing a closed shape with this tool, hover the cursor over the last node until a circle appears. Upon clicking this point, the shape will close and there will be no need to press the return key to complete it.
