Moving Nodes

Moving a node alters the shape of a vector object. If an object has more than one contour, move a contour by moving all of its nodes. Move the path to move the entire object.

Node moving tips: While you drag a node you can constrain its line segments to 45 degree increments.
Hold down Shift to constrain the previous segment.

To move a node:

  1. From the Tools toolbar, select the Pen tool .

  2. From the Tool Options palette, select the Edit Mode .

  3. Select a node and drag it to a new position, or press the arrow keys to move it one pixel at a time.
