After you apply a clipping path, choose Item > Edit > Clipping Path to enable clipping path editing. Then choose one of the following tools: The Select Point tool , the Add Point tool , the Remove Point tool , and the Convert Point tool . For more information, see “Tools.”

You can also manipulate clipping paths with the controls in the Measurements palette. To change a point from one type to another, use one of the following three buttons:

• Symmetrical Point : A symmetrical point connects two curved lines to form a continuous curve. The result is similar to a smooth point, but the curve handles always rest on a straight line through the point and are always equidistant from the point.
• Smooth Point : A smooth point connects two curved lines to form a continuous curve. The curve handles always rest on a straight line through the point, but they can be distanced independently.
• Corner Point : A corner point connects two straight lines, a straight line and a curved line, or two noncontinuous curved lines. With curved lines, the corner point’s curve handles can be manipulated independently, usually to form a sharp transition between the two segments.

To change the character of a line segment, use one of the following buttons:

• Straight Segment : Makes the active segment straight.
• Curved Segment : Makes the active segment curved.
