4 Double-click one node to select all nodes.

You cannot delete a path. A path is deleted with its object or
when all of its contours are deleted.
Drawing lines
You can draw straight lines, freeform lines, and line segments. You can
edit the nodes in a line to create curves.
You can also adjust the line options of existing vector objects.
To draw a line segment
Edit workspace
1 On the Tools toolbar, choose the Pen tool
.
Note: If you want to place the line segment on the current vector
layer, mark the Create on Vector check box on the Tool Options
palette. If no vector layer exists, marking this check box creates
one for the line segment. If this check box is unmarked, the line
segment is placed on a raster layer. Placing a line segment on a
vector layer makes it easier to edit.
2 On the Materials palette, click the Foreground and Stroke
properties box, and choose a color for the outline.
3 If you are drawing connected line segments and you want to
apply a fill, click the Background and Fill properties box, and
choose a color for the text fill. If you do not want the line
segments to have a fill, click the Transparent button
.
Note: If you are drawing a single, unconnected line segment, it is
not necessary to choose settings from the Background and Fill
properties box.
