Edit path points

Adjust the points, handles and joins of a supported 2D path.

Select a supported path and use its point-editing action, N, E, or a supported double-click. The editing guide is labeled Edit Nodes. Main tool names and focused editors can differ: 3D face, edge and point work belongs to Reshape, not this 2D path workflow.

1

Select the points to edit

Click a point, use Shift-click to toggle additional points, or drag a selection box. The guide reports the selected count and whether the path is open or closed. Locked or unsupported objects cannot be edited through this workflow.

2

Move or add a point

Drag selected points to change the outline. The guide provides Node position where applicable. Clicking a segment adds a point; I offers the add-point action in the active point-editing context. Watch the resulting shape rather than assuming the original path is unchanged after every point edit.

3

Choose the join behavior

Use Corner, Smooth or Symmetric in the Type field, or the 1, 2, 3 keys. Curve handles control the neighboring segments. Round corners and Arc radius are available for supported point/corner operations.

4

Use whole-path actions

The guide offers Open path or Close path where applicable, Reverse direction, Convert to curves, Convert to straight segments and Simplify path. Review Simplify tolerance before applying simplification; conversion or simplification can change the outline.

5

Delete or finish deliberately

Delete or Backspace removes the selected editable points. Degenerate results can be refused. Use Esc to leave the current point-editing context and Undo to reverse committed changes. A focused editor may require more than one Esc action to return to the main drawing.
