Buongiorno,

come si può trasformare una linea curva in una linea diritta?

La linea diritta deve finire con una curva.

Grazie

Pa Bell,

 

It rather depends on exactly what you have and what you wish, including the question of smooth transitions or corners as well as possibly retaining (some) original shape(s).

 

If you have a curved path and you wish to continue/extend it smoothly at the end with a straight segment, you can use the Handle of the end Anchor Point as a guide.

In CorelDraw se voglio una linea diritta e dopo una curva, non faccio altro che fare le due linee diritte con lo Strumento mano Libera, poi (con lo Strumento Modellazione) vado su quella che voglio curvare, pigio tasto Dx, viene fuori un menù a tendina con vari comandi, tra cui Linea Curva (oppure Linea Diritta, se la linea è già curva).
Mentre in Illustrator se disegno una linea diritta e dopo ne disegno una curva, come tocco il comando che trasforma i punti di ancoraggio in punti morbidi, la linea diritta si trasforma in curva.

C'è un comando per mantenerla (oppure farla rimanere) diritta?

Grazie

Paolo,

 

You can use the native tools to turn a path with two straight segments into a path with one straight and one curved segment and a smooth transition in between as follows, Smart Guides being your friends:

 

1) Create the path with the two straight segments;

2) If you wish to have the second segment curved, reverse the path direction by clicking the star Anchor Point with the Pen Tool, otherwise skip this;

3) Select the path, then switch to the Pen Tool, then press and hold the Alt/Option key and ClickDrag from the Anchor Point along the segment that is to remain straight unto you have obtained the right shape of the secment becoming curved; Smart Guides say anchor at the Anchor Point and path along the path when you are within snapping distance).

 

In the top set in the image below, the path to the left is drawn from left to right, and the direction of the one to the right is reversed (done as in 2).

 

The resulting curving of one path in the two cases are shown in the bottom set in the image below.
