Edit a shape

Edit a shape’s fill and outline

Do one of the following:
- In the Canvas Layer Editor window, select the shape that you want to edit. It should become highlighted in yellow.
  
  The curves belonging to the shape are automatically picked in the view.
  
  Note:
  
  To unselect a shape, click on the shape in the Canvas Layer Editor again.
- Pick one of the curves belonging to the shape in the view window.
  
  The shape’s name appears in the Paint Panel above the Display options.
  
  Note:
  
  If you pick more than one shape in the Canvas Layer Editor window, or pick curves that belong to more than one shape using a Pick tool, the number of picked shapes is displayed in the Paint Panel above the Display options (for example, 3 picked shapes). Click this display and select a shape from the menu.
Choose Windows > Editors > Shape Editor (or Windows > Control Panel).

The Shape Editor (or Control Panel) opens, showing the Outline and Fill settings of the selected Shape.
In the Shape Editor (or Control Panel ), change the values of the Shape Outline and Shape Fill options.

The shape simultaneously updates to reflect the new values.

When selecting multiple shapes:

The values for the shape that was first selected are displayed.
Modifying the values of one parameter apply that parameter value to all selected shapes.

Transform the shape or the shape’s curves using the Transform tools (for example, Transform > Scale ).

Note:

If you deform a curve excessively, the shape may not appear as you expect.
