Xtream Path 2: Segment Duplication Tool

[ Index ] [ Tools in General ]

The Segment Duplication tool copies the shape of one path segment and applies it to another. Hold down the Shift and Option keys (Mac) or the Shift and Alt keys (Windows) and click on a path segment. Release the modifier keys and click on another path segment, in the same or any other selected path or object. The first segment's shape is duplicated for the second segment. The Xtream Path 2 panel enables you to reflect the path segment shape across the horizontal axis (Reverse Horizontally) or across the vertical axis (Reverse Vertically).

When clicking another segment to paste the segment shape, the nearest anchor point serves as the base point.
Holding down the Shift key while clicking on a path segment will temporarily disable the Reverse Horizontally and Reverse Vertically options.

TIP: The path that you are copying may not necessarily need to be selected.
