Vector networks
Unlike traditional pen tools that loop back to the start, Figma’s vector networks can branch out in any direction, all within the same object. This means you can craft complex shapes more swiftly and efficiently, all while maintaining consistent properties.
In Figma, tools like the Pen, Pencil, and various Shape tools let you harness the power of vector networks.
Activating and modifying vector networks:
- Select your shape, then press Return (Mac) or Enter (Windows) or double-click the shape.
- Alternatively, select the shape and double-click to enter the vector edit mode.
Once you're in vector edit mode, you can add, move, or adjust anchor points and paths to refine your shape. To exit vector edit mode, simply press press Return (Mac) or Enter (Windows) or select Done in the Toolbar.
Pro Tip: Once you're in Vector Edit Mode, remember that all changes or new points you add belong to the same vector network. This is true even if the points are spread out and don't seem connected.
