Converting Anchor Points

[Lobojpm]

I was wondering hot to convert a selection of anchor points in Illustrator (10).

Say I draw the general shape using straight lines, then I want to select a bunch of the anchor points, and convert them all at once to curve nodes. Is there a way to do this or do I have to use the convert tool and do them all individually?

Thanks in advance illustrator gurus!

You can use the filter or effect version of round corners for this. I perfer the effect cause you edit the "roundness" with out having to undo each time. This will however round every corner in the shape so you will have to use the scissors on the points you dont want rounded and re-join them after your done. BEHOLD!

If you want to add curvature to the entire segment, hold alt (option on a Mac) so that your cursur changes to an upside-down 'V' and click and drag on the corner points you want curved. BEHOLD! As Steve Jobs introduces us the latest in desk-lamp technology!
