I was excited about the "convert anchor point to curve" function in illustrator CS3 However, when i select a corner point and convert it to curve, it only extends the handlers of the selected points, but doesn't affect the exit handler and entry handler of the adjacent anchor points. As a result the curve is just a smooth round transition,not a curve. For instance, in FH3, if I "convert to curve" to the anchor points of a square , i'd get a circle and viceversa: If i convert to curve the anchor points of a square in illustrator i get a square with rounded edges.(see example below) I'd prefer a behaviour similar to Aldus Freehand-It gave me an accurate fast control of curves while drawing-What does other user think? <http://skitch.com/jzarracina/beeh5/untitled-3-179-cmyk-preview> Uploaded with plasq <http://plasq.com/>'s Skitch <http://skitch.com>!
