Resizing points and path creation

[tgckpg]

Point:

In illustrator, I could select several points and then switch to size tool and resize them.

 

Path:

In 3ds Max. there was a way to draw curves in a way that the tipping point is following the pen.

When drawing that curve, pressing backspace would remove the previous point you just drawn. It is useful when drawing a line without interruptions.
