Extend Vectors

The Extend tool lengthens the open end of a vector until it meets another vector, so you can close gaps without editing nodes by hand.


Extending a Vector

Move the cursor over the span at the open end of a contour — a preview line shows how it will be extended. Click to lock in that first end.

Now move over a second vector; the preview trims both to the point where they would intersect. Click the second vector to perform the extension. Press Esc to cancel the second pick and choose a different first line.


Tip

Only the true start or end span of an open contour can be extended — closed contours cannot. Extension works against line, arc and bezier spans, using the intersection nearest the cursor.
