Edit path points

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
