Modifying paths in digital vector images by snapping to similar path geometries

A system comprising:

• a memory component;
• and
• one or more processing devices coupled to the memory component, the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
• receiving an indication of a selected connected path set comprising an anchor point in a digital image;
• generating a path cache comprising path information for a plurality of connected path sets within the digital image;
• determining, from the plurality of connected path sets, one or more candidate path sets comprising path information in the path cache within a threshold error of path information of the selected connected path set;
• and
• generating, for display via a graphical user interface of a client device, a visual indicator of a candidate path set of the one or more candidate path sets within the digital image utilizing path information of the candidate path set.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions which, when executed by at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving an indication of a selected connected path set comprising an anchor point in a digital image;
• generating a path cache comprising path information for a plurality of connected path sets within the digital image;
• determining, from the plurality of connected path sets, one or more candidate path sets comprising path information in the path cache within a threshold error of path information of the selected connected path set;
• and
• modifying, in response to movement of the anchor point in the digital image and utilizing the path cache, the path information of the selected connected path set utilizing path information of a candidate path set of the one or more candidate path sets to change a geometry of the selected connected path set according to the candidate path set.
