For example, you can drag the node to a newlocation and the connecting segment(s) will move as well. If you right click on a highlighted node, the following menu will open. Explanations for each option aredescribed below: For the sake of illustrating the node editing, the hammer claw has been modified so that there’s a “bump” orwarp at the intersection of two segments. Note the length and direction of the two control points: Smooth Node: The lines of the Bézier control points on either side of that selected node will align in astraight line, resulting in a smoother transition:Or…Auto-smoothing is turned off:sharp cusp is retained.Auto-smoothing is turned on:sharp cusp is converted intoa curve.The top two segments will bedragged upwardsRed dashed circle appearsaround a node as themouse cursor is held over itDrag the node to a newlocationSegments on either side ofthe node are modified.Control point for segmenton the left side Control point for segmenton the right side“Bump”Two control point lines are now in astraight line with one another
