Erasing

Erasing with the eraser tool removes lines and paint. You can quickly erase everything on the Stage, erase line segments and fills, or erase by dragging.

You can customize the eraser tool to erase only lines, only paint, or only a single area of paint. The eraser tool can be either round or square, and have one of five sizes.

To quickly delete everything on the Stage:

Double-click the eraser tool.

To remove entire line segments or fills:

1	Select the eraser tool and then click the Faucet modifier.
2	Click the line or filled area you want to delete.

To erase by dragging:

1	Select the eraser tool.
2	Choose an erasing mode:
	Erase Normal erases lines and fills on the same layer.
	Erase Fills erases only fills; lines are not affected.
	Erase Lines erases only lines; fills are not affected.
	Erase Selected Fills erases only the currently selected fills and does not affect lines, selected or not.
	Erase Inside erases only the fill on which you begin the eraser stroke. If you begin erasing from an empty point, nothing will be erased. Lines are unaffected by the eraser in this mode.
3	Choose an eraser shape and make sure that the Faucet modifier is not selected.
4	Drag on the Stage.
