Effects
Effects in the Object menu work on the selection and show a preview before you apply.
| Effect | What it does | Main settings |
|---|---|---|
| Warp… | Bends the shape in waves. | Amount, cycles, direction |
| Pattern… | Repeats the selection in a grid or a circle. | Rows, columns, gaps, stagger — or copies, radius, start angle, spin, scale step, kaleidoscope segments |
| Random… | Randomly varies the position, rotation and size of the selected objects for an organic look. | Position scatter, random rotation, random scale, shuffle |
| Simplify… | Removes surplus points. | Fewer nodes ↔ more detail, smooth curves |
| Blend… | Creates the in-between steps of two shapes. | Steps, colour steps |
| Offset… | Adds offset artwork such as a block shadow. | Distance, angle, sides |
Tip: Effects create real vector shapes. Everything stays editable and undoable.
