Drawing Tools – Lasso Tool

lasso toolThis tool is used to cut shapes on the Stage. Select Lasso Tool and move mouse pointer, which now looks like pencil, to the Stage. Choose where you want the starting point for the Lasso to be and then click and drag. As you drag you will see a line being drawn. When you release left mouse button the lasso will automatically close itself by connecting starting and ending point. All shapes that lasso touched are cut, effectively splitting them to two (or even more) shapes.
