Click on any line and drag to bend it. The picture shows the result of bending each of the four sides of a rectangle.

You can also click and drag in the small boxes to move the points of the shape.

 

When zoomed in on a shape if some points are very close together, it can be difficult to click on the point or line that you want. However, you can increases the precision of the selection by holding down the CTRL key in Windows or the CMD key on a Mac.

 

 

If you have a mouse with a right button or other "right click" functionality, you can achieve the same result by right clicking and dragging anywhere in the drawing area. This duplicates the functionality of the pan"Pan" tool.

 

The video demonstrates the use of a combination of the tools.
