To edit slash and spread:
-
On the Horizontal contextual menu, ensure Edit Points is selected.
-
In the 2D window, click a start or end point of the slash and spread. The slash and spread properties are displayed in the Context view.
-
Edit the properties as required.

Values for the start and end spread.
When the value is a number, this is the distance added between each slice.
When the value is a percentage, this is applied to the distance from start point to start point (for start spread) or from end point to end point (for end spread) to set the adjusted distance to include the spread. For example, assume the distance from end point to end point before applying spread is 10cm. Assume end spread is set to 120%. The total spread is therefore 2cm apportioned equally among all slices.
Click
