Hi all,
For one of my projects I would like to extract a specific part of a path, and make it a separate path to move around by itself. I have included some screenshots and the corresponding xcf file in the attachments.
One method I have already tried is with using the the ofn-path-edits.zip, to break apart all paths, and toggle the lock button and then move them around. This works, however; in my actual projects, I'm dealing with several hundred segments, all merged into one path. If I have totally break this down and, locate the right segments, toggle the ones I want to use, and then start moving them around, this is extremely time consuming.
My question;
is there a way to make a selection of a segment of a path (with some sort of free-hand tool?) to extract a specific part of a path, and make it a path by itself?
(pls see attachment for clarification).
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Warm regards,
