Deleting a Node inside Path Contour
To delete a node inside a path contour, do the following steps:
• Select a path (point at by the graphic cursor and click );
• Select the path segment the node belongs to (point at by the graphic cursor
and click );
• Select the node to delete (point at by the graphic cursor and click );
• Delete the selected node (the icon or the key);
• Confirm changes (the icon or the key).
As a result, the new path segment passes through the two neighboring nodes.
Modifying a Node Position within Path Contour
To modify position of a node within a path, do the following steps:
• Select a path (point at by the graphic cursor and click );
• Select the path segment the node belongs to (point at by the graphic cursor
and click );
• Select the node to move (point at by the graphic cursor and click );
• Move the node to the desired position (the segments connecting the node to
neighbors will rubberband as the node is moved);
• Fix the node (point the cursor at an intersection of construction lines and
click , or type in the case of using an existing node).
• Confirm changes (the icon or the key).
As a result of moving, the node will be connected with the neighbors by straight
line segments, regardless of the former types of connecting entities).
Creation of Additional Nodes on a Path Contour
To create additional nodes on a path contour, do the following steps:
• Select a path (point at by the graphic cursor and click );
• Select the contour segment to split by new node(s) (point at by the graphic cursor and click );
Paths
• Turn on the point insertion mode (the icon or the key), and click on a contour segment. The
segment becomes split in two, with the new node between them. The node and the segments
rubberband with the cursor, the solid line segment connecting to the previous node and the dashed line
to the next one. The order of the nodes after the insertion will be determined by the system
automatically, depending on the path contour direction. Do not click on a segment near a vertex, as,
instead of adding a node, this will start moving the existing node;
