Replace String

On the Design tab, in the Editing group: Select Replace With Curve | Replace String to replace a portion of a string by digitising its replacement segments.

There are two steps when you start the tool:

Select a range of segments

  1. Either click and drag the mouse to define a segment range selection from one point to another, or click on two points to define the range.

Digitise a replacement for those segments

  1. If there is already a valid range selection, then Step 1 (above) will be skipped.

    Use the mouse to digitise new segments. Right-click to finish. Press ESC to Cancel.

    Tip: Pressing O will change which end of the replacement to digitise from. This is on the fly, so you can digitise one end, press ‘O', and then start digitising from the other end.

When replacing the string, you can define a gradient and select a snap mode, etc.
