Redrawing part of a line or shape

You can redraw any section of an existing line
or shape
using the Freehand & Brush Tool.

To redraw part of a line or shape

1. Select the line (see Selecting objects).

2. Choose the Freehand & Brush Tool.

3. Place the pointer over the start of the section of the line you wish to redraw. The pointer shows a ~.

4. Drag the mouse to draw the replacement line section.

5. Release the mouse button when the redrawn section is complete. (Ensure the mouse pointer is over the line and the pointer shows a '~'.) If you get it wrong, just Undo and try again.

Tips

QuickShapes can be redrawn using the Freehand & Brush Tool only if Convert to Editable Shapes (on the Arrange menu) has been applied first.

To redraw part of a character in a text object, convert the text to editable shapes and Ungroup first (see Ungrouping objects).
