How do I edit a vector line in Figma?

To edit a vector line in Figma, you need to enter vector edit mode. Here's how you can do it:

1. Select the Vector Object: Click on the shape or drawing you want to edit.

2. Enter Vector Edit Mode (Multiple Options):

   • Using the Properties Panel: Look at the properties panel on the right side of the Figma interface. You should see an option labeled "Edit object." Click it.

   • Double-Clicking: Simply double-click directly on the vector object.

   • Pressing Enter: With the vector object selected, press the Enter key on your keyboard.

3. Edit the Vector Points and Segments: Once in vector edit mode, you'll see the individual points (nodes) and line segments that make up the vector.

   • Moving Points: Click and drag a point to reposition it. This will change the shape of the line.

   • Adding Points: Use the Pen tool (press P) to add new points to the line. Click on the line where you want to add a point.

   • Deleting Points: Select a point and press the Delete key (or Backspace on some keyboards).

   • Adjusting Handles: When you select a point, you might see handles extending from it. These handles control the curvature of the line segment connected to that point. Drag the handles to adjust the curve.

   • Changing Segment Type: Right-click on a point to change its type. Options usually include:

     • Corner: Creates a sharp angle at the point.
     • Mirror Angle: Adjusts the curve on both sides of the point symmetrically.
     • Mirror Vector: Adjusts the curve on both sides of the point independently.
     • Disconnected: Allows the curves on each side of the point to be completely independent.

4. Exit Vector Edit Mode: Click anywhere outside the vector object, or press Enter again to exit vector edit mode.

In summary, editing a vector line in Figma involves entering vector edit mode via the "Edit object" button, double-clicking, or pressing Enter, and then manipulating the vector points and handles to achieve the desired shape.
