Insert Points

Source file: insert-points.htm

Use Insert points to insert points along a line segment, effectively dividing it into new segments. The existing line segment can be part of a line, a polygon, a circle or any other compatible object.

1. On the Edit ribbon tab, go to the Primitives group and select Insert Points.
   The Status Bar will display the Pick an edge to replace function.

   
   

2. Select the point to insert from in the view window.
   The digitisation tool requests a location for the new point.

   
   

3. Click at the location for the new point, or enter coordinates and click in the status bar.
   The function is reset and ready for adding another point from the last point.

4. To exit the function when finished, right-click, press Enter or click in the status bar.

5. To exit without completing the function, press Esc or click the in the status bar.

Tip:  Use the Action plane and Snap modes to simplify accurately selecting points.
