Add

When the Design Window is open, the following options are available for selection on the Shape tab, in the Add group:

  • Click Insert Point to insert one or more points on a selected shape. (Ctrl+U,H)

  • Click Insert Points by Interpolation to insert points on a selected shape, either at a distance specified or by count, i.e. a specified number of intervals. (Ctrl+M,E)
