Sometimes it may be necessary to set the grid to 1 to be able to select points which
are not easily accessible as lying in another layer.
If the hand tool gets a red background, this indicates that there are already one or
more points marked. (see Fig. 40) The marked points get a colored circle.
Additional points can be marked by holding the “Ctrl”-key. To mark ALL points use
the appropriate button “Mark all points”.
Marked points can be moved by using the right mouse button: right-click, hold and
drag.
If no specific point is marked yet, the point under the mouse pointer can be moved
with right-click, hold and drag – this obviously only moves one point.
6.3.2. Cut/Copy/Paste:
The Cut / Copy /Paste buttons simply do what would be
expected. Pasted points are automatically marked and can be moved immediately
with using the hand tool. If points are pasted to the same frame, make sure to drag
the marked points away before unselecting them, as otherwise the points overlap.
This usually is no problem if points are pasted to another frame of course.
To copy or cut and paste a series of frames, use the menu item Frame-Tools (see
chapter 6.17 for further information on the Frame Tools).
Cut or copied points or frames can be pasted into other figures and frames, too. This
can be very helpful if animated figures shall be created.
The commonly known shortcuts “Ctrl” + C for Copy, “Ctrl”+ X for cut and “Ctrl” + V
for paste work as well.
6.3.3. Rotation Tool:
The rotation tool allows for rotating marked points. The rotation-center is the
position where the mouse button is clicked within the drawing area. A horizontal
movement with clicked mouse button results in a rotation with angle zero. A
movement down means a +90 degree rotation, a movement up means -90 degree
rotation etc. The rotation will be applied on release of the mouse button.
6.3.4. Change-Color Tool:
The color of points and corresponding lines can be custom changes, also after
drawing. The Change-Color Tool can be used for recoloring existing points. To apply
a color change, first mark the points to be changed. Then select the desired new
color from the color circle, cube or palette and finish the re-coloring with a click on
the Change-Color tool button.
