Question
Hi Kevin -
boy, I'm really hoping you can help me - I'm so stuck on this. I'm trying to find out how you can make a scallop shape with the 9.0 version (i know this is very old!but all i have for now)
I'm so sure that I've done it before years ago when i use to regularly use it but I'm so rusty now and can't seem to figure it out. I've spent so much time playing around with it and also searching the web for some answers and came across this site. So hopefully you can help.
I specifically want to make an oval scallop shape.
thks in advance!
-Katherine

Answer
HI Katherine,

I would use the pen tool to create a scallop shape. There is no scallop shape tool, though you could draw a circle or oval, in your case and reshape that, but it is easier to just draw it with the pen tool.

Let me know if you need a pen tool refresher.
