The line object below was drawn with the spline tool.
•
End points are the first and last points of individual line segments on a draw
object. When you select a shape point of a line segment within an active line,
spline, or polygon:
•
A small green circle indicates the start end point of the selected line
segment.
•
A small red circle indicates the last end point of the selected line segment.
The same spline with end points indicating a selected spline segment.
Notes
•
When you click the start or last end point of the line segment within a line
draw object and the Show Measurement check box is available (when
using the Polygon or Line tool) and selected, it displays the bearing or
angle of that point of the line, the length of the line segment (leg), and
the total length of the entire line object on the map.
•
When you click the start or end point of the line segment within a polygon
draw object, a text box displays the bearing or angle of that point of the
line, the length of the line segment (leg), and the total area of the
polygon on the map.
•
Points in Rectangles, Circles, and Arcs
Draw objects such as rectangles, circles, and arcs also contain points, but they are
treated differently.
Rectangles–Contain shape points at the four corners, but the lines between the
shape points contain no editable end points. When you click one of these shape
points, a text box displays the width, height, and area of the rectangle on the map.
Circles–Contain no shape points, but have a central point that does not display until
you snap it (see Note below) to another object. Clicking the circle displays a central
crosshair within the circle and a text box containing information on the area and
radius of the circle on the map.
