# Editing tools
All editing tools can be found in the **bottom toolbar** or triggered via [**shortcuts**](/documentation/design/shortcuts.md).
### **Editing tools**
{% hint style="info" %}
Note that for **every editing tool**, you may either start by...

{% embed url="" %}
#### Join **`J`**
**Select** the **paths** to be joined then triggering the **`Join`** command
{% embed url="" %}
#### Rotate **`RR`**
**Argument** : Angle
* Start by **selecting** the **element** to be rotated, then triggering the **`Rotate`** command
* Select the **first point** to rotate from
* Then select an **angle** on the canvas
{% embed url="" %}
#### Mirror **`MI`**
**Mode** : Copy/Move
* Start by **selecting** the **element** to be mirrored, then triggering the **`Mirror`** command
* Select the **first point** to mirror from
* Then select a **second point** on the canvas
{% embed url="" %}
#### Fillet **`CF`**
**Mode** : Scope Single/All\
**Argument** : Radius
* Start by **selecting** the **element** to be filleted, then triggering the **`Fillet`** command
* Select the **two contiguous paths** to fillet from
* Then select the **radius** on the canvas
{% embed url="" %}
#### Chamfer **`CH`**
**Mode** : Regular/Irregular\
**Arguments** : Distance left, Distance right
* Start by **selecting** the **element** to be chamfered, then triggering the **`Chamfer`** command
* Select the **two contiguous paths** to chamfer from
* Then select the **distance** on the canvas
{% embed url="" %}
#### Explode **`X`**
**Select** the **shapes** to be exploded in **individual** **paths** then triggering the **`Explode`** command
{% embed url="" %}
#### Extend **`TX`**
* Start by **selecting** the **element(s)** to extend to.
* Then select the **paths** to be **extended.**
{% embed url="" %}
#### Align **`AL`**
**Mode** : Unscaled/Scaled
* Start by **selecting** the **element(s)** to be aligned.
* Select the element **first source point**
* Select the element **first** **destination point**
* Select the element **second source point**
* Select the element **second** **destination point**
{% embed url="" %}
#### Boolean **`B`**
**Mode** : Join/Intersect/Exclude/Subtract
* Start by **selecting** the **`Boolean`** command**.**
* Select the appropriate mode : **`Join`**, **`Intersect`**, **`Exclude`** or **`Subtract`**
* Select the element **according to the chosen mode.**
{% embed url="" %}
#### Array `AR`
* Start by **selecting** the **element(s)** to be duplicated multiple times.
* Select the duplication **start point**
* Enter a number of copies you want to make.
* Either pick a **final point**, or **type a distance** to specify the length between two copies in the array.
{% embed url="" %}
#### Polar Array `PA`
* Start by **selecting** the **entities(s)** to be duplicated multiple times.
* Select the duplication **center** **start point**
* Select the duplication **end point**
* Enter a number of copies you want to make.
**Mode** : Fill \
**Argument** : Count, Angle.
Automatically adjusts the gap between each item so the array completely fills the specified angle.
**Mode** : Angle\
**Argument :** Count, Angle.
Uses a fixed angle between items and a user-defined item count to determine the total span of the array.
**Rotate** : Rotates each item to follow the direction of the array path.\
**Don’t Rotate** : Keeps each item’s original orientation regardless of its position in the array.
{% embed url="" %}
#### Bucket `BB`
Bucket can be used in two different ways...
* Either by launching the command, and picking areas across your canvas; in that mode, all entities on the canvas will be considered as bounding entities.
* Or by selecting some bounding entities first, then launching the command; this way, the selected shapes will be the only bounding entities while the command is running.
{% embed url="" %}
#### Break `BR`
Instead of trimming and redrawing, use **`Break`** to split a line or arc at a specific point, creating two editable paths with different properties.
**Mode** : Point
* Start by **selecting** the **element(s)** to be broken.
* Place **breaking points** along the path where break is required.
**Mode** : Entities
* Start by **selecting** the **breaking entity(ies).**
* Select **path** on other **entities** to be broken.
{% embed url="" %}
#### Divide `DD`
The **Divide Command** lets you split an entity into equal segments.\
You can divide by **count** (number of parts) or by **distance** (fixed spacing).\
When dividing **closed path** with **`Distance`** mode, you'll be asked to choose a direction.
Mode : **Count**
* Start by **selecting** the **path** to be divided.
* Choose how many **segments** you want.
* Rayon places **division points equally** along the entity and splits the path accordingly.
Mode : **Distance**
* Start by **selecting** the **path** to be divided.
* Enter a fixed distance.
* Rayon places **division points at this interval** along the entity and splits the path accordingly.
