7.7 Stroke: Stroke Placement

Combining the Stroke Placement options and Drawing Plane options assists when you want a

precise Stroke orientation. To understand how this works follow this exercise:

Step 1: In the default 2D Viewport Editor, Camera View, activate the display of the 3D Cursor and

the Canvas Grid in the Gizmos menu.

In draw Mode, draw a Stroke as shown in Figure 7.12.

Step 2: Rotate the Viewport and in Edit Mode, select the Stroke.

Using the Move Tool, Translate the Stroke along the Y Axis (Figure

7.13).

Step 3: Change back to Camera View (Num Pad 0) in Draw Mode

and change the Stroke Placement control Origin to Stroke.
