<p>
|
|
Select "Path" mode from the toolbar. The editor options dialog will open that additionally prompts for
|
|
basic path parameters, such as width and extension scheme. When a path is being drawn, it will receive
|
|
the settings entered into this dialog. The path properties can even be changed, while the path is
|
|
being drawn. Don't forget to click "Apply" to take over the current entries. If the dialog has been
|
|
closed unintentionally, it can be reopened with the F3 shortcut.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To actually draw a path,
|
|
choose a layer from the layer panel in which to create a new box.
|
|
Left click at the first vertex, move the mouse to the second vertex, click to place this one and continue
|
|
to the last vertex. Double-click at the last vertex to finish the path. Press the ESC key to cancel the operation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For paths, as for polygons, the segments created are subject to certain direction restrictions as
|
|
imposed by the connection angle constraints.
|
|
See <link href="/manual/editor_options.xml"/>
|
|
for a detailed description of the modes. Use the "editor options" dialog (F3 shortcut) to change the mode,
|
|
also during editing.
