    example

    I'm trying to use the Shape Bender tool for the first time.

    I wanted to give this shape a curve to make it sort of like a goose neck, but it doesn't seem to work

    I highlight the grouped shape, click shape bender tool, highlight the line, highlight the desired curve and it comes out as shown.

    Thanks for any clues

      The arrow keys will adjust the output.

        Do you really want the kink in the curve?

          oic, I needed to utilize the arrows, d'oh. Dumb newbie question, ok thanks!

          And no, I don't want the kink in the curve, but I'm a newbie, as mentioned.

          Maybe I should figure out the Bezier plugin I think I saw so I can make a smooth curve.
