Vertices<\/a> are used to define the position of points, lines and areas. In this blog post we will show you how to edit vertices in the most efficient way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#01: Set mark size large enough<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, make sure that the size of the vertices is large enough. You can change the mark size and mark color in the Drawing and Editing<\/em> section in the OCAD Preferences<\/a>. In the same section, you can also scale the size of the mouse cursor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#02: Move vertices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To move a vertex<\/a>, select the Select Objects and Edit Vertex icon<\/em> in the Edit and Drawing Toolbar and drag the vertex to the new position. Double click on a vertex and move it then with the arrow keys. Instead of moving a single vertex, you can also click on a segment (section between two vertices) and drag it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#03: Add and remove vertices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use the icons in the toolbar to add or remove vertices (see picture below).
However, you should definitely know these two shortcuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
