Deleting Nodes

Deletes nodes from lines and line segments, including objects created with double lines and multi lines. You can also delete nodes from Bezier curves, splines, and sketches.You cannot delete a node that is needed to define an object as a line segment or polygon. This means that you cannot delete the endpoint of a single line segment, and you cannot delete any node of a triangle. If you delete the endpoint of a polyline, you will delete the entire line segment that terminates at that point.

  1. To delete a single node, use the Edit Tool on the object from which you want to delete a node.
  2. Press Ctrl while placing the cursor where you want to delete the node. The cursor becomes a "trash can" symbol.
  3. Click to delete the node. The adjacent nodes will be connected to form a new segment.
