You can join a set of open elements, such as lines, to create a new closed element. The new closed element is called a path graphic.
You can:
-
Create a path graphic by joining open elements.
-
Break the path graphic into its elements.
-
Edit the path graphic in its entirety or by editing its elements.
-
Add new elements to the path graphic.
-
Remove elements from the path graphic.
You can view a path graphic in two modes:
-
Element mode shows you the individual elements contained in the path graphic and determine its shape. Elements that make up the path graphic are shown as blue lines. The points where the elements are connected are shown as grey lines.
-
Path mode shows you the path graphic in its final rendering, including fill styles and lines styles.
When you are in inline editing mode, you can switch between both modes by pressing the space bar. This lets you preview the path graphic without leaving the inline editing mode.
