At this point, the object can be edited as if you were using the Edit Paths at Node Level tool presented in
Section 7.13. Curves can be re-shaped, nodes can be dragged to new locations and added or deleted. In
this case, the inner portion of the Broad 2 shape will be edited to be more “pointy” in order to alter the
stretched shape on the curve:

There are additional icons just above the displayed shape which permit zooming in or out, and even auto-
smoothing. If you hold the space bar, you can then pan the small screen, moving to other parts of the
shape, which is convenient if you have zoomed in close on particular areas to edit.

An options box at the bottom of the window allows you to copy the currently modified object and place it on
a new layer on the
Layers Bar (for later use, as needed). You might also want to then save this new shape
to Your Shapes in the Basic Shapes library, as well (refer to Section 4.10 ).


A second requirement for Auto 4-Point Warp is that the mode needs to be switched to Warp . This is done
by clicking on the quadrilateral to cycle through the three available modes (refer to Section 3.13) :
