Nodes Types
1. Cusp nodes let you create sharp transitions, such as corners or sharp angles, in a curve object. You can move the control handles in a cusp node independently of one another, changing only the line on one side of the node. 2. Smooth nodes produce smooth transitions between segments. The control handles of a smooth node are always directly opposite one another, but they may be at different distances from the node. 3. Symmetrical nodes are similar to smooth nodes but their control handles are at an equal distance from the node. 4. Line nodes connect straight segments; they have no control handles.

Alt to reposition the node before you actually drop it Ctrl to constrain the curve to 15-degree angles After dragging the control handle you can Double-click the last node to clear its outside control handle, and you will be free to follow the curved segment with a straight one, or with a curved (the node you double-click will become a Cusp). Add segments as you want 3. Press the Spacebar to finish the line and switch to the Pick tool, or Press Enter to finish the line and directly start a new one Press the Auto-Close Curve button on the Property Bar to close the curve Go to Arrange > Close Path, and choose one of the four closing options Click the first node to close the curve (the pointer changes its shape when it hovers over the first node ). top
Constrain Angle
While holding down Ctrl, click to place a node at horizontal or vertical axes, or at a constrain angle. By default, constrain angle is 15 degrees, but you can change it to suit your needs. To change the constrain angle, 1. Click Tools > Options 2. Under Workspace, click Edit 3. Set a value in the Constrain angle box
