Selecting a Vector Paint tool (Pro only)

Vector Paint tools in Composition window

You can use three tools in the Vector Paint toolbar to work with Vector Paint:

Selection tool 

Select a stroke by clicking or dragging across it. You can drag across several strokes to select them simultaneously. You select strokes in order to edit or delete them.

Paint tool 

Paint directly on the layer, using settings defined in the Effect Controls window. When you use the paint tool, the pointer appears as a circle (or square) in the actual size of the brush.

Eraser tool 

Erase areas of the layer, using Brush Type settings defined in the Effect Controls window. The Eraser pointer appears as a circle with an X through it. If you are using an installed tablet with stylus eraser support, Vector Paint automatically switches to eraser mode when you use the stylus eraser.

Clicking the active tool (Selection, Paint, or Brush) in the Vector Paint toolbar deactivates painting and hides the other buttons in the toolbar. You can then drag and scale the layer. To reactivate the toolbar, reselect one of the three Vector Paint tool buttons.
