•   For an open polygon, after you place the last anchor point, press Enter (Mac) or Esc (Windows), or double-click to place the last anchor point. •   For a closed polygon, click the starting anchor point, and then press Enter (Mac) or Esc (Windows), or double-click the starting anchor point. Smoothing polygons You can use the Smooth command to convert a polygon — a path made of straight segments — to a path with smooth curves. You can smooth any paths made of straight segments, including rectangles and paths drawn with the Curve tool, as long as they have only straight segments. The Smooth command is a convenient way for those who haven’t mastered curve drawing to create smooth shapes. To smooth a polygon:   Select the polygon and choose Object > Path > Smooth. Canvas converts the polygon’s corner points into smooth points, which changes the path’s straight line segments into curved segments. For more information about editing smooth points and curved segments, see “Reshaping paths by editing anchor points” on page 23.438. You can use the Unsmooth command to restore the straight segments of a polygon that was smoothed with the Smooth command. How- ever, you can use Unsmooth only if the smoothed polygon wasn’t edited after it was smoothed. To unsmooth a smoothed polygon:   Select the smooth poly- gon and choose Object > Path > Unsmooth. Canvas restores the poly- gon’s straight line segments. Click to place first point Click additional points, double-click last point Completed polygon (selected) Polygon finished with solid black fill ink Polygon Smoothed
