Like other elements in Blender, points and strokes can be moved G, rotated R or scaled S as described in the Basic Transformations section. When in Edit Mode, Proportional Editing is also available for the transformation actions.
Transform Snapping
Basic move, rotate and scale transformations for selected points/strokes. See Move, Rotate, Scale Basics for more information.

V
Splits (disconnects) the selected points from the rest of the stroke. The separated points are left exactly at the same position as the original points but they belong to a new stroke.

Separate the selected points into a new object.
- Selected Strokes
Separate the selected strokes into a new object. If one point of a stroke is selected, the entire stroke will be separated.
- Active Layer
Separate all the strokes in the active layer into a new object. See 2D Layers for more information.
Clean Up
These tools help to cleanup degenerate geometry on the strokes.
Boundary Strokes

Merge by Distance
Referenz
- Modus
Edit Mode
- Menü
Merge by Distance is a useful tool to simplify a stroke by merging the selected points that are closer than a specified distance to each other. Note, unless using Unselected, selected points must be contiguous, else they will not be merged.
- Merge Distance
Sets the distance threshold for merging points.
- Unselected
Allows points in selection to be merged with unselected points. When disabled, selected points will only be merged with other selected ones.
Delete Duplicate Frames

Removes any duplicated animation frames.
Reproject
Referenz
- Modus
Edit Mode

Sometimes you may have drawn strokes unintentionally in different locations in the 3D space but they look right from a certain plane or from the camera view. You can use Reproject to flatten all the selected strokes from a certain viewpoint.
- Reprojected Type
- Front
Reproject selected strokes onto the front plane (XZ).
- Side
Reproject selected strokes onto the side plane (YZ).
- Top
Reproject selected strokes onto the top plane (XY).
- View
Reproject selected strokes onto the current view.
- Surface
Reproject selected strokes onto the mesh surfaces.
- Cursor
Reproject selected strokes onto 3D cursor rotation.
- Keep Original
Maintains the original strokes after applying the tool.

This operator updates all internal geometry data. It is not intended that you will have to use this operator but it can help in cases where strokes are drawn in a strange way or when you opened an old file.

X, Delete, Ctrl-X
Options for the Erase pop-up menu:
- Points
Deletes the selected points. When only one point remains, there is no more visible stroke, and when all points are deleted, the stroke itself is deleted.
- Strokes
Deletes all the strokes that selected points belongs to.
- Frames
Deletes all the strokes at the current frame and in the current layer/channel.
- Dissolve Ctrl-X
Deletes the selected points without splitting the stroke. The remaining points in the strokes stay connected.
- Dissolve between Ctrl-X
Deletes all the points between the selected points without splitting the stroke. The remaining points in the strokes stay connected.
- Dissolve Unselect Ctrl-X
Deletes all the points that are not selected in the stroke without splitting the stroke. The remaining points in the strokes stay connected.
- Delete All Active Frames
Deletes all the strokes at the current frame in all layers/channels.
