How to open path in Adobe XD

[sylvio.murer]

I would like to open the path from a square surface. Is there a possibility in Adobe XD?

Hi Sylvio,

Thanks for reaching out. You can try converting the shape to Path by right-clicking on the shape > Path > Convert to Path and then use the Pen tool to edit the path. Let us know if this helps or if you need any further assistance.

No, that didn't work. I added a picture of what I meant.

It can be done but not straightforward. XD should come with scissors: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/13712892-scissor-t...

you mentioned it could be done. but you failed to mention how.

For this particular case the steps are:

1. Draw a rectangle
2. Draw another overlapping rectangle
3. Select both rectangles and unite
4. Convert the unison to path
5. Double-click the path to show the anchor points
6. Alt + Delete to delete a segment
7. Delete remaining unwanted anchor points

Obviously this is not a proper workflow (there should be a scissors tool) but since you asked...

Thank you! Alt+delete should really not be such a hidden feature...
