For a Smart segment, click again for a new node. The
segment appears as a smooth, best-fitting curve (without
visible control handles) between the new node and the
preceding node. Before releasing the mouse button, you can
drag to "flex" the line as if bending a piece of wire. If the
preceding corner node on the line is also smart, flexibility
extends back to the preceding segment. You can Shift-click
to create a new node that lines up at 15° intervals with the
previous node.

See WebPlus help for information on editing lines.
Setting line properties
All lines, including those that enclose shapes, have numerous properties,
including colour, weight (width or thickness), scaling, cap (end), join (corner),
and stroke alignment. You can vary these properties for any freehand, straight,
or curved line, as well as for the outline of a shape (see Drawing and editing
shapes on p. 172). Text frames, tables, and artistic text objects have line
properties, too.

In WebPlus, you can control the position of the stroke (i.e., line width) in
relation to the object's path (the line that defines the boundary of the object).
