When you create an object that consists of points, the object is added to your picture with reshape handles, and the default operation available through the pop-up menu is Reshape. The following figure illustrates an object with reshape handles. For polygons and polylines, objects are added with resize handles, because you do not need reshape handles in order to reshape these objects. You can move the points in the object to reshape the object at 15-degree increments.
Reshape Cursors
For lines, arcs, chords, and pies, you can reshape the object by clicking and dragging a reshape cursor on the object.
Adding and Deleting Points in Polygons and Polylines
To reshape polygons and polylines, you add points to or delete points from the shape. When you add a point, the cursor changes to a circle with a plus sign inside. If the cursor is black, you can add a point to the polygon or polyline. If the cursor is white, you cannot, because the cursor is not close enough to the object's edge. Move the cursor closer until it turns black or becomes partially black, as the following figure shows.
Adding and deleting points can be performed using a circular cursor. A plus sign inside the circle indicates that you are adding a point; a minus sign in the circle indicates that you are deleting a point.
Adding a Point
After you add a point, all the points in the object are displayed as small plus signs. You can click any of these plus signs and drag the mouse to adjust the size or position of the point it represents. This, in turn, changes the overall shape of the object.
Deleting a point is similar to adding a point, except the cursor changes to a circle with a minus sign inside. A black cursor means you can delete a point; a white cursor means you cannot. When the cursor is white, move it over the point you want to delete until it turns black. You can then delete that point. See the following figure.
