Selecting Vertices
AutoSketch allows you to perform editing functions on single or multiple
vertices. To select a single vertex for editing, simply position the pointer over
the vertex and click. To select several vertices, you can region select by click-
ing and dragging—all of the vertices within the region you define will be
selected. You can also select multiple vertices by pressing SHIFT while click-
ing the vertices you want to edit. If you want to edit all of the vertices in an
entity, simply click the Select All Vertices button on the edit bar.
To select a single vertex
■
Position the pointer over the vertex and click. The coordinate location for
the vertex is displayed on the edit bar.
To select multiple vertices
■
Click and drag the pointer over all the vertices you want to select. All the
vertices in the region you define will become selected.
OR
■
Press SHIFT while clicking the individual vertices you want to edit.
To select all the vertices in an entity
■
Click the Select All Vertices button on the edit bar. All the vertices of the
entity are selected.
Moving and Aligning Vertices
The primary means of reshaping an entity is moving a vertex. You move
vertices by entering points with the mouse, entering points using the key-
board, or by aligning selected vertices using a command on the edit bar. You
can use any combination of snaps and lock modifiers to enter points. For
information on entering points, see the chapter titled “Entering & Modifying
Points,” which begins on page 99.
