Setting path and point display preferences
You can set your preferences to change the way FreeHand displays paths and points. This can make it easier to select and edit a path or point, particularly in a complex drawing.
You can also change the way fills are displayed for a new open path.
To set the display preferences for selected paths and points:
1 |
Choose Edit > Preferences. Click General. |
2 |
Choose one or more options: |
![]() |
Select Smoother Editing to display points using the current layer's foreground color. If you select Smoother Editing, you can also select Highlight Selected Paths to highlight a path's centerline using the current layer's foreground color. |
![]() |
Select Smaller Handles to display smaller points and handles. |
![]() |
Select Show Solid Points to display points as a solid shape. Deselect this option to display points as an outline. |

Click OK. |

To set the display preferences for a fill in an open path:
