Construction Tools for editing existing Objects |
|
It is possible to exactly create or move existing vertices of an object by using the construction tools available with Edit action ‘Editing’.
Moving the mouse pointer over vertex points of a currently selected objects and clicking the right mouse button opens the context menu shown below:
Context menu on vertex point for manipulating object geometry
Moving the mouse pointer over a segment of a currently selected object and clicking the right mouse button opens the context menu shown below:
Context menu on polygon segment for manipulating object geometry
If you choose the menu item Insert/Move Vertex by Construction then a set of construction tools is available for exactly inserting or moving a vertex:

Description |
Construction by Alignment
|
Tool for constructing by alignment using distance and orthogonal distance from a baseline.  Construction by alignment tool form
|
Intersection of two Lines
|
Tool for constructing points by intersecting two base lines.  Intersection of two Lines construction tool form
|
Circular Intersection
|
Tool for constructing a point using circular intersection.  Circular intersection construction tool form
|
Construction by distance and/or angel
|
Construct points using a base point and X/Y distance or distance and angel.  Distance and/or angel construction tool form
|
Intersection of line and circle
|
This tool allows the determination of a new point via the intersection between a line and a circle. After having set the baseline (setting two vertices) and the circle (setting centre and radius), the intersection of line and circle will be calculated.  Intersection of line and circle construction tool form
