pairs of control points as in the case of Turning Angle

Reshaping circle objects
You can change Circle objects from circles to ovals
using the Reshape tool. Circle objects have two
reshape control points (used to change the radius
and orientation of the object), a center point (used
to reposition it), and a stitch entry point. You
cannot add, change or delete control points in
these objects.
To reshape circle objects
1 Select a Parallel Fill Circle object.
2 Click the Reshape icon.
Try this! To move a circle, click the control point in the
circle’s center, and drag it to a new position.
3 Click a control point on the circle outline.
To reshape without changing the orientation, use the
top control point.
Left-click Right-click
Use Edit > Reshape to reshape circle objects.
