A path can be open or closed. An open path has open-ended endpoints, such as a line, while a closed path has connected endpoints, such as a circle. Paths can have two types of anchor points: smooth points or corner points. A smooth point connects two curved segments to create a smooth line, while a corner point connects two straight or curved segments to create a path direction change.
You can draw a path using both smooth and corner points. The outline of a path is called a stroke, which you can format with different characteristics. You can specify stroke weight thickness , color, or a dashed pattern. The interior of an open or closed path is called a fill, which you can also format with a color or gradient. You can change the shape of a path by dragging its anchor point. A selected anchor point or endpoint appears as a solid square, while an unselected one appears as a white square.
When you select an anchor point with a curved segment, a direction line appears with direction points on each end, which you can drag to change the shape of the path.
When you change the shape of a smooth point with curved segments on each side, both segments get changed. When you change a shape of a corner point, the corner is maintained, but adjusted based on the change. In Illustrator, you can show or hide anchor points, direction lines, and direction points by choosing the View menu, and then choosing Show Edges or Hide Edges.

The same shortcut, with the same mandatory order, still works in CC versions, just so you know.
Once you get the hang of it, you can use the shortcut for any version of AI and completely ignore that annoying little popup tool menu. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.
