Enter a node editing option [Next/Previous/Remove/Insert/Move/eXit]:
Enter the letter of the option you want.
■ Enter n to move to the next node.
■ Enter p to move to the previous node.
■ Enter r to remove the current node. You cannot remove a node if the
resulting new line would cross another boundary in the current polygon.
■ Enter i to insert a node before the current node. Note that you cannot
insert a node if the resulting new line would cross another boundary in
the current polygon.
■ Enter m to move the current node. You cannot move a node so that the
current boundary crosses another boundary in the current polygon.
■ Enter x to exit node-editing mode.
disConnect
Enter c to disconnect a boundary from the polygon, but preserve the boundary
object. Respond to the prompt:
Select boundary:
Select the boundary to disconnect.
The boundary is deleted from the polygon, but remains in the drawing as
a polyline or circle object.
If you disconnect a boundary that has nested boundaries, all the nested
boundaries are also disconnected.
Boundary type
Enter b to change the boundary type for a boundary. Respond to the prompts:
Select boundary:
Select the boundary whose type you want to change.
Enter boundary type [Outer/Inner/Annotation] <Outer>:
Enter o to make the selected boundary an outer boundary, enter i to the
make it an inner boundary, or enter a to make it an annotation boundary.
Annotation boundaries behave the same as inner boundaries, but have no
effect on area calculations.
Fill
Enter f to change the fill for the polygon. This displays the
Polygon Fill
Properties dialog box
(page 1824), where you can select a hatch pattern or a
gradient fill.
