@GDHT 4 жыл бұрын

If you've made sure to cut all the way across the object, you shouldn't need to ungroup or anything. You can just use your selection tool to grab the piece and move it. The knife really doesn't have settings, as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure why that's happening.

You know this like the back of your hand, but when you keep telling us the shortcut keys to go back and forth, I get lost because I don't remember what those shortcut keys relate to. Other than that, this was good, but when you say Shift X to do this, what tool is that referring to.

@GDHT 3 жыл бұрын

Go ahead and give it a try! :) You'll need to select the path first to get best results.

this is on text .. what if i want to use eraser on a image or character or a foto

@GDHT 5 жыл бұрын

Just give it a try! :) (it'll work on any vector graphic, but not raster - so characters will work, but photos are a no-go)

How can I erase a single path between any two points? I can do it in Clip Studio poiant. Just swipe the erase tool over a line and watch it disappear up to the nearest point as if I were to select and delete.

Click right on the edge of the path with your Direct selection tool, then hit delete.

@@GDHT That's the obvious way to do it but I want to be able to use an erase function with a pen. Not have to go "click, delete, click, delete, click, delete" or have to worry about orphan points or decide whether to select the path or the anchor. In Clip Studio you just swipe the pen over the line and it instantly deletes up to the nearest intersection.

I don't think there is a way to do this in Illustrator, unfortunately.
