Tool Palettes > Paint > Shape > Make image shape outline

Paint > Shape > Make image shape outline

Create a shape outline from a curve or set of curves.

This feature is not available in SurfaceStudio.

Choose Paint > Shape > Make image shape outline from the palette.

You are prompted to

	Select a curve 

Click on each curve to include in the shape. (Make sure you click the part of the curve that you want to include in the shape boundary.)

Do not drag a pick box around complex curve structures, or the shape may not appear as you expect.

The curves are highlighted. You are prompted to

	Select another curve. If done, press ACCEPT button. 

Click the Accept button.

The curves become a shape. Only the shape outline is visible.

To see the shape fill as well, turn on Visibility under Shape Fill Options in the Paint Control Panel.

To create certain shapes, you may need to select the curves that define the shape in more than one location. Simply select each curve segment that forms a boundary of the shape region, even if this means selecting the same curve more than once.

See Create a shape for more details.
