- Delete the node (the icon or key);
- Confirm changes (the icon or the key).
The resulting new hatch contour passes through two adjacent nodes.
Modifying a contour node position
To modify a contour node position, do the following steps:
- Call the command “EH: Edit Hatch”;
- Select a hatch for editing;
Hatches and Fills
- Turn on the contour editing mode (the icon or key);
- Select the contour segment of the node (point at with the graphic cursor and click );
- Select the node (point at with the graphic cursor and click );
- Move the node to the desired position (the contour rubberbands after the cursor as the node is being
dragged);
- Fix the node (click over an intersection point or type key for
an existing node);
- Confirm changes (the icon or the key).
As a result of moving, the node point will be connected with the
neighbor nodes by straight line segments belonging to the contour
(regardless of the former adjacent segment entity types).
Creation of additional nodes on a contour
To create additional nodes on a contour, do the following steps:
- Call the command “EH: Edit Hatch”;
- Select a hatch for editing;
- Turn on the contour editing mode(the icon or key);
- Select the contour segment to split by new node(s) (point at with the graphic cursor and click );
- 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 one to the next. The
order of the nodes after the insertion will be determined by the system automatically, depending on the hatch
contour direction. Do not click on a segment near a vertex, as, instead of adding a node, this will start
moving the existing node;
- Close the contour between the newly created node and the successive one.
Contour input is complete once the closing node is selected, or the icon or the key is pressed.
