Inserting and deleting points on a path

You can add points to a path and delete points from a path. Adding points to a path gives you control over a specific segment within the path. Deleting points from the path reshapes it or simplifies editing.

To insert a point on a selected path:

• Using the Pen tool, click anywhere on the path where there is not a point.

To delete a point from a selected path segment, do one of the following:

• Click a corner point on a selected object with the Pen tool.
• Double-click a curve point on a selected object with the Pen tool.
• Select a point with the Subselection tool and press Delete or Backspace.
