Straightening curved line segments

You can change the segment of a line between two adjacent point handles in a straight line.

To straighten a curved line segment

1. Select the line or shape (see Selecting objects).

2. Select the two point handles on either side of the curved segment (see Selecting point handles).

3. Choose the Shape Editor Tool.

4. Click the Straight Lines button on the Shape Editor Tool Infobar.

Tips

You can select several line segments and change them in one operation.

Both point handles must be selected. If only one is selected, the segment doesn’t change.
