Reshape closed paths or objects

  1. Using the Direct Selection tool , do one of the following:

    • Drag around the anchor points you want to select.

    • Hold down Shift as you click the anchor points you want to select.

  2. Position the pointer over the anchor point or path segment that you want to act as a focal point (that is, a point that pulls the selected path segments), and click the anchor point or path segment.
  3. Drag the highlighted anchor points to adjust the path. The amount of movement of a given path segment is relative to its distance from a highlighted point:

    • Selected points that act as the focal point move with the selection tool during dragging.

    • Selected points that aren’t the focal point move in tandem with the dragged focal point.

    • Unselected anchor points are not affected by reshaping.
