• To convert a corner point without using direction lines to a corner point with independent direction lines, first drag
direction lines out of a corner point (making it a smooth point). Release the mouse button, and then drag either
direction line.

Converting smooth point to corner point
To convert points, you can also use the Direct Selection tool to select a point, and then choose a command from the
Object > Paths > Convert Point menu. For example, you can select the smooth point at the bottom of a “U” shape and
choose Object > Paths > Convert Point > Line End. Doing so removes the direction lines and makes a “V” shape. Choose
Corner to create a point with direction lines that can move independently of each other. Choose Smooth Symmetrical to
create a point with handles of equal length. Choose Smooth to create a point with handles that can have unequal lengths.
