Without more information I am only guessing at your goal here.
You use the Delete edge (D) tool to delete a line... that's pretty much the only way.
Because AS uses a unique curve description that is different from other drawing applications, deleting any points or edges will effect those on "either side". There is no way around it unless the points are "peaked".
What I would suggest as an aid but not a solution, is to add two "extra" points on the edge to be deleted. Delete the line between the new points, use the "dangling points" to adjust the curvature.
I use that technique all the time.

"UNLESS the points are peaked??" I tried that and it has the same effect as deleting an ordinary point??
Anyways, the last solution helps a lot. THANKS. i will use that.
OH! I see what u mean. and your right, i wasnt after this. but your method solved it.heyvern wrote:If the point is peaked on one end of the deleted edge that curve won't change. Hard to explain and it isn't going to help you much anyway."UNLESS the points are peaked??" I tried that and it has the same effect as deleting an ordinary point??
