# Editing tools
An exhaustive list of Rayon's editing tool set.
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...
* **Selecting the element(s)** to be edited, then **triggering the command.**
* **Triggering the command** first, then **selecting the element(s)** and clicking on the **`DONE`**\
(**`↵`** or **`SPACE`**) button in the command bar.
{% endhint %}
#### Copy **`CC`**
**Arguments**: Distance, Angle
* Start by **selecting** the **element** to be copied, then trigger the **`Copy`** command.

* Select the **insertion point** for the **copied element.**
{% embed url="" %}
#### Move **`MM`**
**Arguments**: Distance, Angle
* Start by **selecting** the **element** to be moved, then trigger the **`Move`** command.
* Select the **specific point** you wish to move the element from.
* Select the **insertion point** for the **moved element.**
{% embed url="" %}
#### Offset **`OO`**
**Argument**: Distance
* Start by selecting the element to be offset, then trigger the **`Offset`** command.
* Enter the **offset distance**.
{% embed url="" %}
#### Trim **`TR`**
* Start by **selecting** the **elements** that intersect, then trigger the **`Trim`** command.
* Select the **paths to be deleted**.
{% embed url="" %}
#### Scale **`SC`**
**Mode**: Scope Selection/Model\
**Arguments**: Scale, Distance
* Start by **selecting** the **element** to be scaled, then trigger the **`Scale`** command.
* Select the **first point** to scale from.
* Then select a **second** point or **enter a scale ratio** in the **active command argument**.
{% embed url="" %}
#### Join **`J`**
**Select** the **paths** to be joined, then trigger the **`Join`** command.
{% embed url="" %}
#### Rotate **`RR`**
**Argument**: Angle
* Start by **selecting** the **element** to be rotated, then trigger 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 trigger 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 trigger 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 trigger 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 into **individual** **paths**, then trigger 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's **first source point**.
* Select the element's **first** **destination point**.
* Select the element's **second source point**.
* Select the element's **second** **destination point**.
{% embed url="" %}
#### Boolean **`BO`**
**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 the number of copies you want to make.
**Mode**: Distribute\
**Arguments**: Count, Distance, Angle
Pick a **final point** on the canvas. Rayon automatically adjusts the gap between each item so the copies completely fill the distance between the start point and the final point.
**Mode**: Increment\
**Arguments**: Count, Distance, Angle
**Type a distance** to set a fixed spacing between two copies. The item count then determines the total length of the array.
{% embed url="" %}
#### Polar Array `AP`
* Start by **selecting** the **entity(ies)** to be duplicated multiple times.
* Select the duplication **center** **start point**.
* Select the duplication **end point**.
* Enter the number of copies you want to make.
**Mode**: Fill\
**Arguments**: Count, Angle
Automatically adjusts the gap between each item so the array completely fills the specified angle.
**Mode**: Angle\
**Arguments**: 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 a break is needed.
**Mode**: Entities
* Start by **selecting** the **breaking entity(ies).**
* Select the **paths** on the 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 a **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.
