Line menu

To display the Line context menu, right-click on a line when the Curve editor tab is displayed.

This menu contains the following:

• Modify — This selects the line and displays the Line Editor dialog so you can edit the location or length of the line.
• Edit as continuous line — This selects the line so you can edit the location, or length of the line in the same way as a continuous line.
• Reverse selected — Select to reverse the direction of the selected items. This is the same as clicking Curve Editor tab > Edit panel > Reverse Selected.
• Delete selected — Select to delete the selected items. This is the same as clicking Curve Editor tab > Edit panel > Delete Selected.
• Merge with adjoining segments — Select to merge all the segments adjacent to the picked segment.

  The curve editor merges segments that join the selected segment (at either end). The curve editor then merges segments that join the resulting new segment. This continues until no more merges are possible. Where there is a choice of curves to merge, the curve with the smallest tangent angle discrepancy is chosen. This is the same as clicking Curve Editor > Edit panel > Segment > Automatic Merge

• Undo — Select to revert to what it was before the last change.
• Redo — Select to reinstate the edit you have just undone.
• Select all — Click to select all the curves.

  

• Select toggle — Click to deselect the selected curves and select the deselected curves.
