Hi -

I've started using the Draw function, mostly for Opacity. I like the ability to re-position a draw point. But I am finding a bezier curve on some of my draw points. I want to re-position, but instead when I click-drag, it changes the bezier curve. How do I revert back to just moving the draw point? I am assuming there is an alt or ctrl or shift command with click-drag?

Thank you, Todd

How do I revert back to just moving the draw point?

Hold down ALT and click on the point.

Proportionally changing size (not expanding)

Hover with mouse over point until you see

Hold down shift and pull in or outwards.

Among the new features in version 2021, that selection tool is facsinating. I need to understand it better and will try to find some time to spend learning it better. For now, I think the answer to your question is that it depends on where you attach the mouse to the curve.

Hi whsprague, I just did some experimenting. I have drawn a trapizoidal shape. When I draw the final point that completes the shape it becomes a bezier. I can bezier and "un" bezier other points by Alt-click. To "un" bezier the final point, I have to zoom in to be able to differentiate between the bezier handles and the point itself. When I do, I am ablee "un" bezier the final point by Alt-clicking on it. In my experiment, I have to zoom in, otherwise I am not able to position the mouse on the point and not the bezier handles. Please try it and let me know your thoughts.
