Using the Path Editor
Correcting Existing Paths
Note:
This is advisable when creating cut-outs, because outlines created
with curves are usually more precise and easier to correct.
4. The outline you are creating may consist of more than one path. To
start creating another path, place the cursor anywhere but on a path
and SHIFT-click on the layout. Then click to set new points.
This will create a new path if no points were displayed before. Otherwise,
the points will be appended to the path the points of which are
displayed (unless this path is closed).
5. To modify the path form, you can
• move points with the SHIFT button pressed down
• drag the handles (they appear when you set or click a point)
SHIFT-click on a path if no points are displayed to make them visisble.
See also Modifying Paths (page 9-7) and Using Handles (page 9-12).

Correcting Existing Paths
1. Activate the path you want to edit (see page 8-1).
You can only correct one path at a time.
If you want to correct several paths at the same time, you must first
combine them into a new path by selecting PATHS | EDIT | COMBINE.
2. If the path is a standard path (e.g. a rectangle or circle), select PATHS
| EDIT | COMBINE to convert it into a combined path (see page 33-1).
3. Click or select EDIT | CORRECT to start the Path Editor.
All paths disappear from the screen until you leave the function.
