You can hide a stroke, shape, or group by clicking the Visible icon in the stroke/shape list.

A new stroke/shape is created with the same spline, animation, and attributes as the one you selected.

You can duplicate strokes/shapes by right-clicking on them and selecting duplicate.

Note:You cannot use Ctrl/ Cmd+ C or Ctrl/ Cmd+ V in the control panel to copy and paste shapes. Alternatively, to copy, cut, or paste shape and point attributes only, see Editing Existing Stroke/Shape Splines.

The name has to be unique, so you can’t give two items the same name.

If you want to rename any of the strokes, shapes, or groups, double-click on the name while the item is selected, and give your item a new name.

You can remove a stroke/shape or a group by clicking the Remove button under the stroke/shape list.

Every group also has its own transformation overlay, which you can use to move the group. After strokes/shapes have been grouped, you can edit them as a group and they move together if you change their place in the Viewer.

This creates a subfolder, named “Layer1” by default, and you can drag and drop strokes/shapes to this folder to group them. You can create groups for sets of strokes/shapes in the stroke/shape list by clicking the Add button below the list.You can reorder the columns in the stroke/shape list by dragging and dropping them.You can edit the stroke/shape list in many ways, and use it to adjust strokes/shapes and how they’re displayed in the Viewer. Some controls can also be edited directly in the overview by clicking on their icon. The stroke/shape list provides an overview of existing parameters, showing, for example, whether the item is locked, set invisible, or whether it has motion blur applied to it.

If a control can’t be applied to a group, it is grayed out if you have a group selected in the stroke/shape list. Some controls also can only be applied to strokes or shapes (these are grouped under the Stroke and Shape control tabs respectively). Some controls can be applied to groups, some can’t. Using the list, you can also select strokes/shapes/groups and edit them with the various controls in the properties panel. By default, the newest stroke/shape/group appears on top of the list, and your strokes/shapes are named according to their type (for example, 'Bezier1' or 'Smear2'). After you’ve drawn strokes/shapes, you can edit their order and group them with the Stroke/Shape list in the RotoPaint properties panel.
