I'm going to select the rectangle that I have here, and if I click on any of the end point vertexes, we can see that I can stretch them out, and the shape remains a polyline. However, it is no longer a rectangle. I'm going to undo, select the rectangle again, and if I select one of the midpoint grips, we can effectively stretch the rectangle while maintaining the parallel relationships. Now let's take a look at the larger polyline that's been created over here. If we select it, we can see that it is a series of individual line segments joined together as a polyline. Again, we can modify any of the grips simply by clicking on them or dragging the midpoints, but what if we want to do something a bit more substantial, like modifying the…
