Mitered Corners and Closed Shapes
When creating a satin line by placing points, the corners of a satin border are mitered automatically when you hold down Shift and click to place a corner point.
If you want to make a closed shape with mitered corners, such as a square or rectangle, join the shape in the middle of one of the sides, as shown in the example. If the shape is joined at a corner, that corner will not be mitered as it will simply be two straight end points in the same place, rather than a true corner.
Note: When drawing this type of satin line shape, overlap the start and end points slightly to ensure a neat join.
Note: You can also create mitered corners in the Satin Line and Motif Line properties. See Satin Line and Motif Line.
