the direction of the arrow on the key.
Holding down the arrow key for the desired

an arrow key moves the point one grid mark
in the direction of the arrow on the key.

end points of an Arc, Arc & String, and Fan.

also be moved. However, the point cannot
be moved to cross an outline. In order to
move the point in this way, cancel hole
sewing first.
