Stroke Menu¶
This page covers many of the tools in the Strokes menu. These are tools that work primarily on strokes, however, some also work with point selections.

- Menü:
Stroke ‣ Move to Layer
- Tastenkürzel:
M
A pop-up menu to move the stroke to a different layer. You can choose the layer to move the selected strokes to from a list of layers of the current Grease Pencil object. You can also add a new layer to move the selected stroke to. When creating a new layer, there is another pop-up to type in the name of the new layer.

Moves to the bottom the selected points/strokes.
Close¶
Referenz
- Modus:
Edit Mode
- Menü:
Stroke ‣ Close
- Tastenkürzel:
F
Close or open strokes by connecting the last and first point.
- Type
- Close All:

- Open All:
Open all closed selected strokes.
- Toggle:
Close or Open selected strokes as required.

Stroke ‣ Toggle Cyclic
Toggles between an open stroke and closed stroke (cyclic).
- Type
- Close All:
Close all open selected strokes.
- Open All:
Open all closed selected strokes.
- Toggle:
Close or Open selected strokes as required.
Set Caps¶
Referenz
- Modus:
Edit Mode
- Menü:
Stroke ‣ Set Caps
Toggle ending cap styles of the stroke.
- Rounded
Sets stroke start and end points to rounded (default).
- Flat
Toggle stroke start and end points caps to flat or rounded.
- Toggle Start
Toggle stroke start point cap to flat or rounded.
- Toggle End
Toggle stroke end point cap to flat or rounded.
Switch Direction¶
Referenz
- Modus:
Edit Mode
- Menü:
Stroke ‣ Switch Direction
Reverse the direction of the points in the selected strokes (i.e. the start point will become the end one, and vice versa).
Set Uniform Thickness¶
Referenz
- Modus:
Edit Mode
- Menü:
Stroke ‣ Set Uniform Thickness
Makes the thickness equal for the entire stroke.
- Thickness
Thickness value to use on all points of the stroke.
Set Uniform Opacity¶
Referenz
- Modus:
Edit Mode
- Menü:
Stroke ‣ Set Uniform Opacity
Makes the opacity equal for the entire stroke.

Opacity value to use on all points of the stroke.
Scale Thickness¶
Referenz
- Modus:
Edit Mode
- Menü:
Stroke ‣ Scale Thickness
When enabled, scales the stroke thickness during scale transformations.
Set Curve Type¶
Referenz
- Modus:
Edit Mode
- Menü:
Stroke ‣ Set Curve Type
Sets the spline type for the splines in the stroke component that are in the selection.
- Type
The type to convert the splines in the selection to. Read the Spline Types page for more details on the different spline types.
- Bézier:
Convert to a Bézier spline. A spline converted from a poly spline gets vector handles, while one converted from NURBS or Catmull Rom spline gets auto handles.
Bemerkung
When converting from a NURBS spline to a Bézier spline, at least six points are needed. When the number of points is not a multiple of three a full conversion is not possible and the spline has to be truncated.
- NURBS:
Convert to a NURBS spline.
- Poly:
Convert to a poly spline.
- Catmull Rom:
Convert to a Catmull Rom spline.
- Handles
Take handle information into account in the conversion
Set Curve Resolution¶
Referenz
- Modus:
Edit Mode
- Menü:
Stroke ‣ Set Curve Resolution
Sets the number of points generated along each curve segment (between two handles).
Reset UVs¶
Referenz
- Modus:
Edit Mode
- Menü:
Stroke ‣ Set Curve Resolution
Reset UV transformation to default values.
