Circular Selection Tools
This documentation is also available in video format!
Watch a complete demonstration of the Circular Selection tools, including the new Circular Area With Move workflow.
Arttista offers multiple ways to select vector points, each designed for different editing workflows. Besides the traditional rectangular selection, the Circular Selection tools allow you to work naturally by simply moving the cursor across your artwork.
Selection Modes
- Rectangle Selection – Click and drag to create a rectangular selection area. Every point inside the rectangle becomes selected.
- Circular Selection – Hold the mouse button and move the cursor to select points inside a circular area. This method is ideal for organic editing and sculpting operations.
- Circular Area With Move – Select and move points simultaneously. As soon as you press the mouse button, every point inside the circular selection area becomes selected and immediately follows the mouse cursor until the button is released.
Why Use Circular Area With Move?
Instead of selecting points first and moving them afterward, this new workflow combines both operations into a single gesture. It greatly reduces mouse clicks and makes interactive editing significantly faster, especially when adjusting complex vector artwork.
Customizing the Brush Size
The size of the circular selection area can be adjusted at any time using the selection radius slider or by holding Alt while scrolling the mouse wheel.
Adjust Selection Radius: Alt + Mouse Wheel
