control to change point to 90deg?

[rpc9943]

Hey all

is there a way I can click on a control handle point that is a smooth curve and make it into a 90degree angle, or at least to a straight line that aims towards the next control points? It seems cumbersome to have to manually pull the handles to do this... any tips?

Hi Ron,

to convert a smooth curve to a straight line

1. Select your curve
2. Choose the Shape editor tool (F4)
3. Select two or more points by holding down the Shift-Key and clicking on the points.
4. Click on the icon "Make line" (L) in the toolbar of the Shape editor tool.

To set a 90 degree angle on a straight line

1. Select your curve
2. Choose the Shape editor tool (F4)
3. Select a point of a straight line (it doesn't work with a point of a smooth curve)
4. Type in a degree of 0, 90, 180 or -90 in the input field called "A" (Line angle) in the toolbar of the Shape editor tool

Regards,
Remi
