Figure 65: Deleting points
Eliminating points
The Eliminate Points icon only functions on lines with multiple points. These lines are created
when a curve is converted to a line using the Convert to Curve icon on the Edit Points toolbar
(see “Converting curves or lines” on page 66). The process of eliminating points from a line to
create a straight line is shown in Figure 66.
1) Select a line with multiple points where the points have been converted to a line.
2) Click on the Points icon on the Drawing toolbar. The Edit Points toolbar should open. If it
does not open, then go to View > Toolbars > Edit Points on the main menu bar to open it.
3) Use the mouse cursor to select the point on the line that you want to eliminate. The
selected point will be emphasized.
