Eraser Tool

This tool is used for removing or erasing areas or objects just like a normal eraser. When the Eraser Tool is selected, Eraser Mode modifier, Faucet modifier and Eraser Shape modifier icons appear in the Options area.

Eraser Mode modifier helps the user to select the required erasing mode. This icon includes five options which are as follows:

Erase Normal : This mode erases everything which is present on the stage.

Erase Fills : This mode erases only fills with lines remain unaffected.

Erase Lines : This mode erases only lines but the fills remain unaffected.

Erase Selected Fills : This mode erases only selected fills with lines and unselected fills remain unaffected.

Erase Inside : This mode erases only the fill on which you begin the eraser stroke with lines remain unaffected. If you start erasing from an empty point, nothing is erased.
