The 3-point curve tool lets you draw smooth, precise curves quickly and easily, eliminating the need to worry about nodes and node-editing.
You can also use this tool to trace bitmaps.
Each of these curves was created with two clicks of the 3-point curve tool.
To draw a curve with the 3-point curve tool, simply specify the start point, end point, and middle point (apex) of the curve. You can preview the curve and adjust its shape while drawing.
To draw a curve with the 3-point curve tool
Open the Curve flyout, and click the 3-point curve tool.
The 3 point curve tool is located in the toolbox, on the Curve flyout.
Click where you want to start the curve, drag to where you want the curve to end, and release the mouse button.
Move the pointer to where you want the apex of the curve to be. A dynamic preview of the curve appears, helping you make adjustments on the fly. Click when the curve is the shape you want.
The resulting curve contains only two nodes - a start node and an end node.
