Swap between inside and outside contour

Contours can be either inside or outside of objects. (Outside contours make the objects larger.)

To swap the contour direction

1. Select the contoured object (see Selecting objects). (See Notes.)

2. Choose the Contour Tool.

3. Either

drag any of the eight handles that surround the selected objects (drag the handles inside or outside the objects to swap)

or click the Inner or Outer contour buttons.

Notes

You can also use the Contour Tool to select objects - more details.

Dragging the handles also resizes the contour. Clicking the button keeps the existing size.

If you have several contoured objects selected, any changes apply to all the contours.
