Updating shape

NathanMPS

Hello

Is it possible to update the segments of a shape so that they match the current shape?
For example, in the photo below, the segment in green would match the shape in red (doing this arc segment automatically) : 

Thanks

    Try the Edit - ZCopy command. Works like an offset command. look at the Options pane and set the layers you want to copy to, set the contract / expand amount to offset then select the shape you want to copy from.

    You can try the below steps using Shape>Edit Boundary command to change the corners to arcs-

    1 Select Shape>Edit Boundary.
    2 Click LMB on the shape to edit.
    3 Under the Options tab, change the Segment Type to Arc.
    4 Click the LMB on the start point for the arc along the boundary edge (an arc point will be attached to the cursor).
    5 Select and stretch the arc to finish line of the other segment.
    If required, use RMB and select Flip Dynamics to change the arc direction.
    6 Click RMB and select Done to finish the current operation.


    Give it a try and let me know how it goes for you after performing the steps.
