Edit Vertices

No matter the type of vector you create, you can edit the vertices by changing their position or handles in both design and animate mode.

Edit Vertices mode

To enter Edit Vertices mode, either select the shape and hit enter twice or select a path and hit enter once.

After activating Edit Vertices mode, you can select any vertex, reposition it, and edit the bezier handles.

Use Deep Select to select a specific path inside nested groups on the stage.

Path Options

Each path in Edit Vertices mode has a set of path options at the top of the Inspector.

Done Editing Button

The Done Editing button can be used to exit Edit Vertices Mode.

Open Path

The Open Path button will disconnect the last vertex from the first vertex.

Reverse Direction

The Reverse Direction button can be used to reverse the direction of the path. Depending on the Fill-Rule, this can eliminate holes in our shape by changing the mathematical value of the selected path.

Convert Radial Corners

Straight vertices with a corner radius will deform when the scale transform is applied to the shape or path layer. You can convert radial corners from a procedural property to a defined set of vertices. This process will eliminate deformation of the corner.

Bezier Handles

‌Straight

‌The default handles are set to straight, which creates straight edges between vertices.

Corner Radius

The Corner Radius property allows you to round straight corners. This property only appears on vertices that are set to straight.

‌Mirrored

‌Mirrored is the default handle when you create a vertex by clicking and dragging. These handles always keep the same rotation and length.

‌Detached‌

Detached handles allow each handle to have its own rotation and length.

‌Asymmetric

‌Asymmetric handles share the same rotation but can have lengths independently of each other.
