What is the proper path to select stray anchor points?

• A. Edit > Preferences > Stray Points
• B. Select > Object > Stray Points
• C. Object > Path > Stray Points
• D. View > Show Stray Points

Answer: (B)

To tidy up anchor points efficiently, use the built-in selection command that targets stray points. This option scans all paths and selects anchor points that aren’t connected to any segment, i.e., stray points. Once they’re selected, you can delete or adjust them to clean up your artwork. This is the right approach because it directly identifies the isolated points in one step, without needing to click each one individually. The other menu paths don’t perform this targeted selection: preferences adjust settings, a path submenu option isn’t for stray points, and showing stray points only reveals them without selecting them for editing.
