A drawing mode is a method of inputting
anchor points. The drawing mode chosen
depends on the shape you want to create.

the QuickDraw drawing mode lets you make
unique baselines for your lettering.

control you need to toggle between entering
straight and curved points for lettering.
You now can place straight and curved points
in Xpressive. To place a straight point, left-

curved point, right-click the design
workspace.
Curved points should be entered as a set
of 3 points that define the arc of the
