Control Points

All elements placed on a board may be manipulated through the use of Control Points which appear as small

color-coded dots. However, unlike the control points for drawing elements (vectors), the control points have

different uses for patterns. Like vectors, the Control Points are left-clicked and dragged to manipulate the

shape of the patterns. Right clicking on a Control Point opens a menu of options relating to that Control Point.

Changes made to the control points are reected on the Input toolbar.

Figure 11�4� Example Pattern (Raster)

Red Control Point: Red Control Points appear at the corners of patterns. These control points enlarge

or reduce the pattern proportionally maintaining the aspect ratio of 1 to 1. These points can be attached

to the edge or center line of the board to lock in position (see Chapter on Advanced Drawing Features).

Yellow Control Point: Yellow Control Points are the midpoints (between the red corners) allow for

enlarging or reducing the pattern along the X-plane or Y-plane without maintain the aspect ratio.

Green Control Point: Green Control Points allow for quickly changing the angle (rotation) of the

selected pattern.
