Editing Objects Part I
The Select Points button functions as a switch. It works as
follows.
If you have two points linked together by a straight line (you
don't need to have a curve between the points) and you insert
a new point between them that is set at an angle to the initial
straight line (and hence the two endpoints), you will have a
drawing similar to that illustrated in .
If the Select Points switch is deactivated, and you move the
point you've just inserted, to bring it back close to its initial
position in the straight line, you will have a drawing similar to
that illustrated in .
If the switch is activated, moving the point back towards the
axis of the initial straight line will cause the line to snap into
place and the new point will be hidden from view (as
illustrated in ). The new point will not have physically
disappeared however, and you can bring it back into view by
just dragging the mouse cursor (represented by a cross-hair)
away from the axis of the straight line.
