What to practice

  • How to select an already existing object. Hint: When the pointer hovers above an object it highlights and the pointer changes its shape from a cross to an arrow. Clicking selects the corresponding object.
  • How to create a point that lies on an object. Hint: The point is displayed in a light blue color. Always check if the point really lies on the object by dragging it with the mouse ( Move tool).
  • How to correct mistakes step-by-step using the  Undo and  Redo buttons.
Note: Several tools allow the creation of points “on the fly”. This means that no existing objects are required in order to use the tool. Example: The tool  Segment can be applied to two already existing points or to the empty  Graphics View. By clicking on the  Graphics View the corresponding points are created and a segment is drawn in between them.
