Arcs, beziers & segments

Edit individual segments of a path after drawing.

Polylines and polygons are made of segments. With the Select tool, you can edit each one after the fact.

  • Drag a vertex to move it; the adjoining segments follow. Clicking a vertex never nudges it — a drag starts only after deliberate movement.
  • Right-click a vertex for Delete Vertex, or right-click a segment for Add Vertex — see the right-click menu.
  • Delete / Backspace with a vertex selected also removes it.
  • Convert a line to an arc, then drag the arc or set its radius numerically.
  • Bezier segments expose handles you can drag to adjust curvature.
Tip

You can also choose segment types live while drawing with the Polyline tool.
