Pick and Place Function
5–25
For the Add Vertex mode, the pick and place points enable you to separate
the corresponding polygon sides into two parts, forming two sides and a new
vertex. The maximum number of vertices (and sides) is 16.
The pick and place points for the Add Vertex mode are located as shown in
Figure 5.23.

Note that the pick and place points are located at the midpoint along each
side of the polygon window.
Figure 5.24 (page 5–26) demonstrates the operation of the Add Vertex pick
and place points in the following steps:
•
Step 1: The polygon side is picked at point A, and the first new vertex is
dragged to point A
′, and is then placed at point A′.
NOTE: When you add a vertex, the pick and place mode automatically
changes back to Move Vertex. Thus, to add another vertex, you must
reselect the Add Vertex mode.
•
Step 2: The Add Vertex mode is reselected.
•
Step 3: The polygon side is picked at point B, the second new vertex is
dragged to point B
′, and is then placed at point B′.
