Moving Object Points

Moving Object Points

If the corner of the object is not attached to the control points, you can click and grab the corner point of an object to move it.

This allows you to skew the design.

Moving Points Rules:

Moving Points Rules:

  • Moving the corner control points grabs both the bounding rectangle control point and any segments attached to the corner (i.e., on a rectangle), unless you Explode the Circuit or Rotate it slightly. This would allow you to move the object's control point separately from the bounding rectangle control point.

  • Move the midpoint of a line to turn it into a curve.

  • Circles and ovals need to be Exploded or Converted to Splines before their points can be moved as individual Curves.
