Eraser & Slice
Eraser
The Eraser (Shift E) removes parts of your artwork, and what remains stays vector.
- With objects selected, it erases only those.
- With nothing selected, it erases any unlocked artwork it touches.
- [ and ] change its size.
- Brush strokes are split cleanly and keep their brush, texture and pressure.
Tip: Lock a layer to protect it while you erase on another.
Slice
The Slice tool (K) cuts paths. Drag a line across one or more paths: each is cut where your line crosses it, and the pieces become separate objects you can move or delete.
