Shape Editor Tool F4
Unlike other drawing programs, Xara LX combines the main shape or curve editing functions and line or shape creation facilities in this one tool. The Shape Editor Tool can be used to alter curves or straight lines, insert or delete points, smooth complex curves, cut lines, reshape curves and create new lines or shapes. It is often easier to use than the Pen Tool. and provides more accuracy than the Freehand & Brush Tool for drawing lines and shapes. To find out more about lines and shapes, see the Lines and Shapes Overview.
The Shape Editor Tool can also be chosen using the Line and Shape Pop-up Menu.
