Is there a way to use a line to cut an outline below it ? Like the command “cut below” in illustrator.
I am making a layered font and would like to re-use outlines and ensure it still fits weel without the extra work.
You can use the knife tool. But that needs live dragging that line.
If someone likes to write a script, here is the line of code the knife tool is using:
GlyphsToolOther.cutPathsInLayer_forPoint_endPoint_(layer, point1, point2)
The knife tool is not secure enough unfortunately …
Not precise enough you mean because it’s manual?
You can precisely place a single line segment and use the code to make that line segment cut.
I am now using the Boolean Operations, which is more efficient in the end.
