#516 – Drawing a Path in Blend with the Pen Tool

You can use the Pen tool in Blend to draw a Path object.  A path is just a series of connected line segments or curves.  You draw a Path by specifying a series of individual points.

To start drawing a Path, first select the Pen tool in the tools panel.

Left-click again to place the second point, holding the left mouse button down after you click.  You’ll see a straight line segment appear, but if you drag the mouse while holding down the left button, you can create a curve.

Continue in the same way, adding curves that each connects to the end of the previous curve.
