Delete Points Tool

What it Does

Removes points you no longer need from the draft. Any line or curve attached to a deleted point is deleted too.

Use this to clean up construction points. Check which lines and curves touch the points first, because they will disappear with them.

Deleting a point also has these effects:

• Points linked to it are unlinked
• If the point is part of a dart, the whole dart is removed along with it. This is the same as the Remove Dart Tool. The dart's two leg lines, its center point and its apex are deleted, and the two leg end points are joined into one. The point you selected and its lines are deleted. The dart's other leg end point stays, with its own lines

How to Use

1. Activate the tool by clicking the Delete Points icon
2. Select one or more points to delete, then select Continue
3. Read the message on the screen. It tells you what will be deleted. If a point is part of a dart, it names the dart and says the whole dart will be removed
4. Select Save to delete the points, or Cancel to keep everything

Point of No Return

Once you select Save, the points, their lines and curves, and any dart they belong to are gone. Save a copy of your draft before deleting a lot at once.

🧠Memorization

When you memorize a draft, the deletion is remembered.
