Andrew Michell Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 If you draw multiple lines using the pen tool, with the option "add new curve to selected curves object" selected, you get a single object consisting of multiple lines. You can then only change the characteristics of all the lines together. How do you separate them into distinct objects so as to change the width or colour of each line separately? I expected to be able to "ungroup" them, but that option is greyed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixelPest Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Better use "Layer->Geometry->Separate Curves" otherwise AD tries to close curves under some circumstances: firstdefence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixelPest Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Correct - Boolean tools operate with shapes not lines in AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
