How do I get these to show up? I drew a rectangle and would now like those little handles to pop up so I can bend and curve the sides of the rectangle. Doesn't seem to be working.

    Update- after poking around with different shapes i'm finding that the handles only show up on circles, but not on any other drawing tool.

    What if I don't want to draw circles? I love to use those little bezier (sp?) handles to fine tune my shapes....

    I second this! I was hoping to be able to do bezier drawing with this. Maybe in an update?

    We're working on improved path drawing tools, I'll have more details soon, but for now back to work!

    I love the app and wanted to chime in on this topic: improved path drawing tools would be awesome.... Along with text, merge/subtract, locking of elements, etc.

    At last a vector program that doesn't cras every 15 seconds. I like the interface and I was a big fan of Freehand years ago. I think the interface has a good handle on what is needed for controls but the program is a bit sparse yet for what I was looking for. The point editing is a good start but I would like to add a point in the middle of a path. Is there a way to do this or subtract a point from a path?
    I am looking forward to being able to use this for illustrations for Keynote but it needs to develop some yet. I like what I see so far.

    It's great too hear that people are happy with what we've started with. We can't wait to get some of the new features we have planned into people's hands.

    Robin: You can't currently add or remove points to a path. Improved path creation and manipulation is high on our priority list, so expect to see some improvements in this area soon.
