How to Convert All Anchor Points
Adobe Illustrator is a graphics-editing application from Adobe Systems that uses vectors when creating shapes. Those vectors are defined by anchor points, which are the points at which lines change direction. Anchor points can either be smooth and create a curve or they can be corner points, creating angles instead. You can convert all anchor points in a shape to either smooth or corner points by selecting the anchor points and using a specific tool to perform the conversion.
