By adding points to vectors, we can further refine our line.

Getting ready

You will need a file open, with at least one vector layer and one line created on that vector layer. It can be created with a brush tool or one of the Direct draw tools. In the following example, we will be using a line created with the Curve tool, set for a Cubic Bézier curve.
