Xtream Path 2: Parallelization Tool

[ Index ] [ Tools in General ]

The Parallelization tool duplicates the angle of a path segment (straight or curved) and applies it to another path segment. Hold down the Shift and Option keys (Mac) or the Shift and Alt keys (Windows) and click on a path segment to copy its angle. (The cursor assumes the Eyedropper icon.) Click on another path segment in the same or any other selected path to replicate the angle

When pasting the angle to a different segment, the anchor point nearest the spot on which you click remains stationary. The anchor point at the opposite end of the path segment is moved to adjust the angle. The anchor point will move along the adjoining path segment (if any) to reach the required angle. The adjoining path segment's length, not its angle, will be adjusted.

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