Erasing Textured Lines
When you use the Eraser tool to erase a portion of a textured line, the vector frame is cut straight and you lose the feather created while drawing with the Brush tool. In Toon Boom Animate Pro, a special option in the Eraser 
tool lets you create a soft edge on your textured lines. You can also cut or keep the vector frame as is.
