This tool is used to highlight the punchpoints of design shapes, allowing you to select and move the points, 
therefore changing the shape of the design. After selecting a punchpoint, it can be deleted, or the commands 
on the 

Punchpoints

 drop-down menu can be used to insert new punchpoints as well as set entry and exit points. 

For more information about the commands available on the 

Punchpoints

 drop-down menu, see chapter 24.

NOTE: The punchpoints of text shapes that have not been converted to deformed text can only be used to 

move the shape or adjust its parameters (baseline width, height, etc.), but not deform it (i.e., change its 
shape). For more information about deforming a text shape, see chapter 17.

To manipulate the individual punchpoints in the outline of each character of a text shape, it must first be 
converted to its various paths and regions. For more information about converting text shapes to paths 
and regions, see chapter 18.

■

1
