These operators will toggle the selection of the first or last point(s) of the stroke(s) in the object. This is useful to quickly find the start of a stroke.
Select More/Less
Reference
- Mode
Edit Mode
- Menu
- Shortcut
Ctrl-NumpadPlus, Ctrl-NumpadMinus
The purpose of these tools is to reduce or enlarge the current selection within a stroke (i.e. they will never "go outside" of a stroke or "jump" to another stroke in the same object).
- More
For each selected point, select all its linked points (i.e. one or two...).
- Less
For each selected point, if all points linked to this point are selected, keep this one selected. Otherwise, deselect it.
Petunjuk
When all points of a stroke are selected, nothing will happen (as for Less, all linked points are always selected, and of course, More cannot add any). Conversely, the same goes when no points are selected.
