8 Working With Paths
Activating Paths
This chapter deals with basic operations for modifying paths.

Creating ‘Smooth Text’ (page 13-1)
To be able to modify a path you must first activate it. If you want to modify
several paths simultaneously, these paths must all be active at the same
time. To avoid that a modification affects a specific path, make sure this
path is inactive (i.e. deactivate it).
Active and inactive paths are represented with different colors. By default
active paths are magenta and inactive paths dark yellow. You can
change these colors. See Defining Display Colors (page 31-2).
If paths you want to activate are not visible, select VIEW | PATH AND MASK
DISPLAY ON. All paths on the layout will appear and become inactive.
To activate paths, you must first click or select PATHS | ACTIVATE to
switch to the path selection mode. Immediately after creating it, a path is
active and can be modified directly.
How to Activate a Single Path
Click or select PATHS | ACTIVATE, then click on the path.
Alternatively, CTRL-click (Mac OS) or right-click (Windows) repeatedly to
activate the next path. SHIFT-CTRL-click (Mac OS) or SHIFT-right-click
(Windows) to activate the paths in reverse order. The cursor need not be
positioned on a path, it must be anywhere on the layout.
