Connecting Paths
How to connect two paths by combining their end points:
1. If no points are displayed for a path, SHIFT-click on this path to display
all of its points.
2. Position the cursor on one of the path’s end points.
3. Hold SHIFT pressed down and drag this point onto the other path’s
end point. This is only possible if this end point is not marked.
As you move the mouse, all end points change in color (default is magenta).
An infinity sign ( ) appears near the cursor when the two end
points are on top of each other. The two points are combined into one as
soon as you release the mouse button.
Protecting Paths Against Modifications
You can lock paths, i.e. protect them accidental modifications. When a
path is locked, it is not possible to move or delete its points or to use the
handles.
1. Make sure all paths you want to lock (and only these paths) have displayed
or marked points (see page 9-6).
2. Select LOCK/UNLOCK in the MENU window. All paths with displayed or
marked points are locked.
3. Reselect LOCK/UNLOCK to undo this, i.e. to allow the paths to be modified.
Changing Point Type (Corner/Curve)
When Creating New Paths
When you create a new path, corner points connected by straight lines
are produced by default. If you want to create curves instead, click on
the last point you have set. All points created afterwards will be curve
points connected by curved lines.
To produce corner points again, click again on the last point you have
set, then set another point and click also on this point. All points created
afterwards will then be corner points connected by vectors.
