2. Choose Object > Path > Simplify.
3. Set the Curve Precision to control how closely the simplified path follows the original path.
Select Preview to show a preview of the simplified path and list the number of points in the original and simplified paths.
4. Select additional options, and click OK:
Curve Precision Enter a value between 0% and 100% to set how closely the simplified path should follow the original path. A higher
percentage creates more points and a closer fit. Any existing anchor points are ignored except for endpoints of a curve and corner points
(unless you enter a value for Angle Threshold).
Angle Threshold Enter a value between 0 and 180° to control the smoothness of corners. If the angle of a corner point is less than the
angle threshold, the corner point is not changed. This option helps keep corners sharp, even if the value for Curve Precision is low.
Straight Lines Creates straight lines between the object’s original anchor points. Corner points are removed if they have an angle greater
than the value set in Angle Threshold.
Show Original Shows the original path behind the simplified path.
Average the position of anchor points
1. Select two or more anchor points (on the same path or on different paths).
2. Choose Object > Path > Average.
3. Choose to average along the horizontal (x) axis only, the vertical (y) axis only, or both axes, and click OK.
Convert between smooth points and corner points
You can convert the points on a path between corner to smooth points. Using options in the Control panel, you can quickly convert multiple anchor
points. Using the Convert Anchor Point tool, you can choose to convert only one side of the point, and you can precisely alter the curve as you
convert the point.
Convert one or more anchor points using the Control panel
To use the anchor point conversion options in the Control panel, only relevant anchor points, not the entire object, should be selected. If you select
multiple objects, one of the objects must be only partially selected. When entire objects are selected, the Control panel options change to those
that affect the entire object.
1. To convert one or more corner points to smooth points, select the points and then click the Convert Selected Anchor Points To Smooth
button in the Control panel.
2. To convert one or more smooth points to corner points, select the points and then click the Convert Selected Anchor Points To Corner
button in the Control panel.
Convert an anchor point precisely using the Convert Anchor Point tool
1. Select the entire path you want to modify so that you can see its anchor points.
2. Select the Convert Anchor Point tool .
3. Position the Convert Anchor Point tool over the anchor point you want to convert, and do one of the following:
To convert a corner point to a smooth point, drag a direction point out of the corner point.
Dragging a direction point out of a corner point to create a smooth point
To convert a smooth point to a corner point without direction lines, click the smooth point.
