Erasing the path with the erase tool


    The erase tool lets you remove a portion of an existing path or stroke. You can use the erase tool on paths (including brushed paths), but not on text or meshes.

To use the erase tool:

  1. Select the erase tool  the erase tool .
  2. Drag the tool along the length of the path segment you want to erase (not across the path). For best results, use a single, smooth, dragging motion.
  3. Anchor points are added to the ends of the new paths.
