Troubleshoot
- Can't see eccentricity handles on arc shape
- Problem — According to MS help, if you click on the control point of an arc with the pencil tool, while holding the CTRL key, you will see the arc's eccentricity handles.
- Solution ([3]) — Resize the height or width or the shape with the pointer tool (CTRL+1), the re-select the bow point with the pencil tool. The eccentricity handles should appear.
- Solution 2 — Open the ShapeSheet, find the EllipticalArcTo corresponding to the segment, and change the value in the D column (set 1 or so).
