If a pressure-sensitive tablet is attached to your computer, you can select the Pressure modifier
to vary the width of your brush strokes by varying the pressure on your stylus.
6 Drag on the Stage. Shift-drag to constrain brush strokes to horizontal and vertical directions.
Reshaping lines and shape outlines
You can reshape lines and shape outlines created with the Pencil, Brush, Line, Oval, or Rectangle
tools by dragging with the Arrow tool, or by optimizing their curves.
You can also use the Subselection tool to display points on lines and shape outlines and modify
the lines and outlines by adjusting the points. For information on adjusting anchor points, see
“Using the Pen tool” on page 64.
To display anchor points on a line or shape outline created with the Pencil, Brush, Line, Oval,
or Rectangle tools:
1 Select the Subselection tool.
2 Click the line or shape outline.
Reshaping using the Arrow tool
To reshape a line or shape outline, you can drag on any point on a line using the Arrow tool.
The pointer changes to indicate what type of reshaping it can perform on the line or fill.
Flash adjusts the curve of the line segment to accommodate the new position of the moved
point. If the repositioned point is an end point, you can lengthen or shorten the line. If the
repositioned point is a corner, the line segments forming the corner remain straight as they
become longer or shorter.
When a corner appears next to the pointer, you can change an end point. When a curve appears next to
the pointer, you can adjust a curve.
Some brush stroke areas are easier to reshape if you view them as outlines.
If you are having trouble reshaping a complex line, you can smooth it to remove some of its
details, making reshaping easier. Increasing the magnification can also make reshaping easier and
more accurate; see “Optimizing curves” on page 72 or “Viewing the Stage” on page 19.
To reshape a line or shape outline using the Arrow tool:
1 Select the Arrow tool.
2 Do one of the following:
• Drag from any point on the segment to reshape it.
• Control-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Macintosh) a line to create a new corner point.
