The system returns to the mode “Contour selected for editing”. One can do other modifications,
and then confirm all changes.
- Confirm changes (the icon or the key).
Let us illustrate the above with a specific
example. Suppose, a hatch contour needs to be
edited that was originally constructed along
construction lines using the “Outline” option.
The original and target configurations are
shown on the diagrams.
To get the result, begin with calling the command “EH: Edit Hatch”. Next, select the hatch and turn on the
contour editing mode. Select the hatch contour to be modified. Now, to get the result, perform manipulations
shown on the following diagrams 1 – 8.

Upon selecting the closing node (see diagram 8) the contour automatically closes, and the point insertion
mode exits. What is left is to press the icon or the key, and the contour editing task is completed.
One comment to the described procedure: as the contour segment to be modified is selected (see diagram 5),
the system will define the previous and the next nodes in the sequence, depending on the hatch contour
direction. These will be identified by the dashed and solid rubberbanded lines. In this particular example, the
hatch contour direction is clock-wise.
