8.10.1 Moving a Path
•
Sometimes a path needs to be exten
ded without resizing the rest of the shape. For example: let’s say you
need to extend the right section of this shape by a few inches:
Select the
Shape Tool
on the
Tools Panel
and then click on that path:
You can now use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move that path. Holding the
Shift
key while
clicking on an arrow key will move it in larger increments:
If instead, the center section had been widened by selecting the path on its right side, then that would
have resulted in shortening the section to the right of it:
Thus, to maintain the dimensions of the right section, both paths need to be moved at the same time. To
do this, marquee-select the nodes as shown and then move with the keyboard arrow:
Extend the right section to here
As you move your mouse
near a path, the cursor will
change. Then you can click
and select that path.
