Moving a Segment AutoSketch also allows you to move the individual segments of an entity. When a segment is moved, connecting segments are automatically lengthened or shortened as the segment is placed in another location. You can use any combination of snaps and lock modifiers to enter points. For information on entering points, see the chapter titled "Entering & Modifying Points," which begins on page 99. To move a segment 1 Enter vertex editing mode. 2 Click a segment that you want to move, the segment is highlighted. 3 Click the Move Segment button on the edit bar. 4 Using the rubber-band segment, position the segment in the new location and click. Adding a Vertex, Segment, or Bulge You can add a vertex at any point between the startpoint and the endpoint of a polyline segment by simply clicking on the point along the segment and beginning to drag. Release the mouse button when the new vertex is where you want it to be. If you need to add a vertex to the end of a polyline or curve, use the Extend command. You can add as many vertices or segments as you need. After you add a vertex or segment, you can reposition it using vertex editing. For information, see Moving and Aligning Vertices. A bulge is simply a curved segment of a polyline. In vertex editing mode you can quickly create a bulge in a polyline segment. You can think of a polyline bulge as a 3-point arc. The startpoint and endpoints of the polyline segment are the endpoints of the arc. The point you drag becomes the middle point of the arc. For more information on bulges, refer to "Drawing Polylines" on page 139. Moving a Segment | 303
