9.4 Editing in Edit Mode

To understand the Editing process, begin by examining how the Stroke is constructed and viewed

in the 2D Viewport Editor. Figure 9.2 shows a simple Stroke produced using the Draw Tool in

Draw Mode. Default setting have been used in the Tool Header with the exception the Radius has

been increased to 50px (Note: The examples are drawn using a Mouse).

Figure 9.2

Changing to Object Mode, the Stroke has an orange outline indicating that it is selected. You

also see an orange dot at the center of the 2D Viewport Editor which is the center of the Canvas

in which the Stroke is Drawn.

You may click LMB anywhere in the Viewport Editor to deselect the Stroke then LMB click on the

Stroke again to re-select.

When the Viewport Editor is placed in Edit Mode the stroke appears as it did in Draw Mode but

with a very faint line along its center. You continue to see the center dot of the Canvas.

Press the A Key on the Keyboard and the line along the center of the Stroke displays orange.
