Title: convert ellipse to circle
Post by: brynn on June 21, 2017, 03:36:25 AM

Coolest tip of the day!  (Just learned this proofreading on the new manual.)

If you've already drawn an Ellipse, and while it's still the vector shape (not a path), you can position your mouse over one of the square handles, hold Ctrl, and click.

Ta-daaa!

:D

Recommend Help menu > Tutorials > Basic, Shapes and Advanced (don't worry, "Advanced" is not really advanced -- it's written for newbies).
