The "Insert Tool" is for adding vertices to graphics. It may be applied to any graphic except a Text Area. The graphic does not need to be selected, the Insert Tool will act on any graphic in the top window of EazyDraw.
Visual feedback is provided so that you may be certain how the action will effect your drawing. Undo works, in case the resulting effect turns out different than desired. You may use the Knife Tool to remove the added vertex at a later time.
The "Insert Tool" is used to add a vertex to a segment of a graphic. You start the operation with a mouse down click. Then a drag operation will produce a line attached to the mouse cursor. The segment and insertion point are specified by dragging the line over the target segment. An open green circle will indicate the position of the new vertex. Nothing happens until the mouse is released. At that time the graphic is modified and the vertex added. |
Note that most times after the insertion there is no visual change to the drawing. For example a line with an added vertex will appear as the same line. The difference is only noticeable when you select the line and see the new vertex's handle at the insertion point.
Inserting a vertex on some graphics will change the actual graphic. For example inserting a vertex on a circle will not only add the vertex, this action will transform the Circle to a Bezier Curve. You may view these side effects by using the Graphic Details Drawer.
