After drawing and selecting the point to manipulate them i could use to change a fractal point to an bezier point.

I this possible ?

Hello!

Fractal segments are made of "tight" bezier curves (unless you set the tension to 0). If you select an item with the point edit tool and then change the points type to "Full path points" from the top bar, then you'll see all the points and not just the shape control points.

If you try to drag one of the path points, you'll see that you will be pulling bezier control points (they just happen to overlap the "core point").

Hopefully that made sense the way I explained it! If it didn't please let me know.

Thanks!

Well i kind of did ;) but there are maybee 100-1000 points.

I don't know if this is posible, but what i was looking for was a way to convert a control point to another type.

Okay, so you are looking at changing an entire "segment" I think? You could select that segment with the segment edit tool and remove the fractal - that will make it into a line that you can then "pull" to turn into a curve.

Let me know if I'm getting closer :)

I can make it into a strait line, but i cannot curve it, the benzir points is not there...

Am I doing it wrong?

Back on point editing (in full path mode), if you select a line the segment and drag it will start to curve from the point you clicked on and you will see the bezier control points appear.
