User Guide

Pressing “Cancel” will undo everything you did in the Point
Information dialog and restore the character to its original
state.
Choosing “Undo” from the Edit menu will also undo
everything you did in the Point Information dialog since
selecting it is considered one action.
To retract BCPs into their point:
1. Click on the “On point” checkbox for the incoming
and/or outgoing BCP in the Point Information dialog.
The BCPs will move (or disappear from view) into their
point.
2. Click on the checkbox again to disable it and the
BCPs will reappear and return to their previous
coordinates.
You can also retract BCPs in the Outline Window with a
menu command. See “Retracting BCPs” later in this
section for more information.
Point and path preferences
Path display
You can control the way paths appear by setting options in
the Preferences dialog. Choose “Preferences” from the
File menu. Then select “Editing behavior” from the first pop-
up menu in the dialog.
Next choose the radio button relating to the path behavior
that best describes how you want paths to act when you
select them.
You can drag paths as a whole. To choose this option,
click on the “Select and drag the path” radio button.
