01
Create corners and curves in one tool
Press P to select the Pen tool. A click places a corner anchor; a drag creates handles for a curved segment. Close the path by selecting its first point, or press Enter to finish it open. The result is an editable path rather than a flattened drawing.
02
Refine the geometry without starting over
Return to a path to edit its points and handles. Use Alt when the handle directions need to separate. Select the layer to adjust paint properties in the inspector. Resizing an anchored path scales its control points with the artwork.
03
Combine drawing with a larger composition
Keep related paths in named groups or frames, place text alongside them, and export the selected artwork. The tool supports core vector editing; boolean operations, variable-width brushes, and advanced vector effects are not included.
