Deleting Start Points and Endpoints
For individual segments of polylines, you can delete the start point and/or the end point, with the following conditions:
- For the first segment, you can only delete the Start Point, which effectively removes the entire segment.
- For the last segment, you can only delete the End Point, which effectively removes the entire segment.
- For all remaining (internal) segments, you can delete either the Start Point or the End Point. The new point becomes the opposite point of the adjacent segment, and the total number of segments is reduced by one.
To delete Start Points or End Points of polyline segments:
- In the History Tree, locate the polyline that contains the segment you want to delete and expand the branch to expose the CreateLine, CreateArc, CreateAngularArc, or CreateSpline entries. These entries represent the individual polyline segments.
- In the History Tree, right-click the polyline
segment you want to edit and choose either:
- Delete Start Point, which removes the preceding segment, or
- Delete End Point, which removes the subsequent segment.
Alternatively, you can select the segment and choose Edit> Delete Start Point or Edit> Delete End Point from the menu bar.
