Segment option is available. Turning on Bend Segment allows you to use the Move tool to grab
and bend a selected segment.
If you have the Bend Segment option turned on, you can click on a straight line segment with
the Move tool and change it to a curve. You can then alter the flex of the curve using the Move
tool, or by clicking and dragging the curve control points. The three curve controls on the Detail
Edit menu and on the Move tool Property Bar determine how the flex will change: Smooth,
Sharp and Symmetrical.
