Not sure what I'm doing wrong but some of the cusps in the shape I created by joining bezier curves are pointed. Others are square. Tried a variety of approaches -- nothing changes them. I want them all points. Any help would be appreciated.
Try using a lower value for "miter limit" (Properties docker; Outline properties):
If that section is not visible, you may need to click on the arrow to expand it.
I have suggested more than once that these should all, by default, be expanded in the default workspace in the interest of discoverablity. Users can always collapse them if they wish.
That's the ticket. Much thanks.
