2. Select the Eraser tool .
3. (Optional) Double-click the Eraser tool and specify options.
4. Drag over the area you want to erase. You can control the tool by doing any of the following:
To constrain the Eraser tool to a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line, Shift-drag.
To create a marquee around an area and erase everything inside the area, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS). To constrain
the marquee to a square, Alt-Shift-drag (Windows) or Option-Shift-drag (Mac OS).
Erase objects using a Wacom stylus pen eraser
When you flip a stylus pen, the Eraser Tool automatically becomes active. When you flip the stylus pen back over, the last active tool becomes
active again.
Turn over the stylus pen and drag across the area you want to erase.
Press harder to increase the width of the erased path. (You may need to select the Pressure option in the Eraser Tool Options dialog box first.)
Eraser tool options
You can change the Eraser tool options by double-clicking the tool in the Tools panel.
Note: You can change the diameter at any time by pressing ] to enlarge or [ to reduce.
Angle Determines the angle of rotation for the tool. Drag the arrowhead in the preview, or enter a value in the Angle text box.
Roundness Determines roundness of the tool. Drag a black dot in the preview away from or toward the center, or enter a value in the Roundness
text box. The higher the value, the greater the roundness.
Diameter Determines the diameter of the tool. Use the Diameter slider, or enter a value in the Diameter text box.
The pop-up list to the right of each option lets you control variations in the shape of the tool. Select one of the following options:
Fixed Uses a fixed angle, roundness, or diameter.
Random Uses random variations in angle, roundness, or diameter. Enter a value in the Variation text box to specify the range within which the
brush characteristic can vary. For example, when the Diameter value is 15 and the Variation value is 5, the diameter can be 10, or 20, or any
value in between.
Pressure Varies in angle, roundness, or diameter based on the pressure of a drawing stylus. This option is most useful when used with Diameter.
It is available only if you have a graphics tablet. Enter a value in the Variation text box to specify how much more or less the original value the
brush characteristic will vary. For example, when the Roundness value is 75% and the Variation value is 25%, the lightest stroke is 50% and the
heaviest stroke is 100%. The lighter the pressure, the more angular the brush stroke.
Stylus Wheel Varies in diameter based on manipulation of the stylus wheel.
Tilt Varies in angle, roundness, or diameter based on the tilt of a drawing stylus. This option is most useful when used with Roundness. It is
available only if you have a graphics tablet that can detect the direction in which the pen is tilted.
Bearing Varies in angle, roundness, or diameter based on the pressure of a drawing stylus. This option is most useful when used to control the
angle of calligraphic brushes, especially when you’re using the brush like a paintbrush. It is available only if you have a graphics tablet that can
detect how close to vertical the pen is.
Rotation Varies in angle, roundness, or diameter based on how the drawing stylus pen tip is rotated. This option is most useful when used to
control the angle of calligraphic brushes, especially when you’re using the brush like a flat pen. It is available only if you have a graphics tablet
that can detect this type of rotation.
Split a path
You can split a path at any anchor point or along any segment. When you split a path, keep the following in mind:
If you want to split a closed path into two open paths, you must slice in two places along the path. If you slice a closed path only once, you
get a single path with a gap in it.
Any paths resulting from a split inherit the path settings of the original path, such as stroke weight and fill color. Stroke alignment is
automatically reset to center.
1. (Optional) Select the path to see its current anchor points.
2. Do one of the following:
Select the Scissors tool and click the path where you want to split it. When you split the path in the middle of a segment, the two new
endpoints appear on top of the other, and one endpoint is selected.
Select the anchor point where you want to split the path, and then click the Cut Path At Selected Anchor Points button in the Control
panel. When you split the path at an anchor point, a new anchor point appears on top of the original anchor point, and one anchor point
is selected.
3. Use the Direct Selection tool to adjust the new anchor point or path segment.
Note: You can divide an object into separate component faces by using the Knife tool (a face is an area undivided by a line segment).
