How to draw this shape...

[Acorn]

Maybe we are not working from the same start position.

1. Select QuickShape Tool.
2. Create Polygons.
3. Number of sides: 3.
4. Ctrl+Drag to 400px and 270deg or type in the same.
5. Create a horizontal Guide line through the leftmost vertex.
6. Place the mouse over the right side on the guide and when the cursor changes to an arrowhead, click-drag the curve along the guide to maintain symmetry.
7. Change the rotation to 0deg.

maintains symmetry yes... but curved sides no... must be doing something wrong...

Well, I actually did look at his suggestion, and commented that it did not produce a curve. Instead if produced straight edges.
MVMusic didn't reply and correct me or give any further instructions.

MVMusic should have come back and told me that I was doing something wrong.
Which was, not only was I selecting 'Create Polygons', but, I was also selecting 'Starred Shapes' at the same time.
I should not have selected 'Starred Shapes'.

But, I take your advice, Acorn.
And give MVMusic a certificate as well.
I hope he sees it.
