Hi,
How to convert "sharp" point path to a "soft one", to get direction handles? I mean the control points of a bezier curved path.
That's not cevered in the manual, online nor offline version.
Thanks.

It's not possible in PitStop.

It is possible actually; PitStop is even better than you think
Select the point using the "Edit Path" tool. Make sure you actually have one or more anchor points selected, and not just the path. Then in the PitStop Pro menu go to Object - Set Curve Anchor Point. The handle bars will appear but you may have to look closely because PitStop doesn't change the angle. In other words the handle bar will coincide precisely with the path. Whether you get one or two handle bars depends on the adjacent points on the path.

You learn something new every day!!
I even wrote a feature request for that, mind you it was for a specific tool, not a menu item.
