Converting contours to shapes

You can convert a contour into a group containing all the contour steps. Each step is converted to a simple shape and, after ungrouping, can be edited. Note that after converting a contour to shapes, you cannot use the Contour Tool to edit it as the object is no longer a contour.

To convert a contour to shapes

1. Select the contour (see Selecting objects). (See Note.)

2. From the Arrange menu, choose Convert to Editable Shapes.

Tip

To convert a contour quickly, right-click on the contour to open the pop-up menu and choose Convert To Editable Shapes.

Notes

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