		Editing
		=======

	Sensitivity When Drawing	These tools let you move and reshape grease pencil strokes after they have been drawn.

		Open the Grease Pencil tab on the Toolshelf (:kbd:`T`).
		Look for the tools in the Edit Strokes panel shown here:

		.. figure:: /images/GreasePencilEditStrokesPanel.jpg

		Edit panel with grease pencil strokes.

		The basic steps are:

		- enter the grease pencil edit mode
		- select some strokes
		- move and reshape them



		Edit Mode
	------------------------	------------------------


		Enable Editing (:kbd:`D-TAB` )
		Enters or exits the edit mode.


		While in the grease pencil editing mode, Blender redirects the common editing keys to operate on the grease pencil layer instead of the 3D scene components.


		Select
		------------------------

		Grease pencil strokes are formed from a series of connected vertex points.
		To make changes, first select points on the strokes that you want to edit.
		You can only select points on the active layer.
		The selected points are hilited as in the image above.

		Hint: Set the layer's Stroke Thickness to 1 to make the points more visible.

		Select All (:kbd:`A`) Border Select (:kbd:`B`) Circle Select (:kbd:`C`) Select Linked (:kbd:`Ctrl-L`) Select More (:kbd:`Ctrl-NumpadPlus`) Select Less (:kbd:`Ctrl-NumpadMinus`)
		Use the mouse to select the points, or one of the selection buttons in the panel as detailed in
		:doc:`Basic Selection </modeling/meshes/selecting/basics>`.

		:kbd:`Alt-LMB` Select Stroke
		Instead of a single point, select all connected points on the stroke.


		Edit
		------------------------

		Delete (:kbd:`X`)
		Choose from:
		- Points - delete the selected points, leaving a gap in the stroke
		- Disolve - reconnect the ends so there is no gap in the stroke
		- Strokes - delete the entire stroke containing any selected points
		- Frame - delete a frame when doing :doc:`Animation of the Sketches </grease_pencil/layers_and_animation>`.

		Duplicate (:kbd:`Shift-D`)
		Make a copy of the selected points at the same location. Use the mouse to Translate them into position.
		:kbd:`LMB` places them at their new position.
		:kbd:`RMB` cancels and removes the duplicates.


		Translate (:kbd:`G`) Rotate (:kbd:`R`) Scale (:kbd:`S`)
		Move the selected points with the mouse.
		:kbd:`LMB` places them at their new position.
		Refine these operations with
		Pivot Center,
		View or Global transform orientations,
		snap to Increment and
		Proportional Editing
		detailed in the general :doc:`Transformations Instructions </getting_started/basics/transformations/index>`.

		Mirror (:kbd:`Ctrl-M`) Bend (:kbd:`Shift-W`) Shear (:kbd:`Shift-Ctrl-Alt-S`) To Sphere (:kbd:`Shift-Alt-S`)
		These are similar to the equivalent mesh operations detailed in
		:doc:`Deforming Instructions </modeling/meshes/editing/deforming/index>`.
