Deleting a node from a polygonal entity

This function is analogous to the insertion of a node into a polyline. However, it removes the selected inner nodes from an existing polygonal entity. The result is that the selected vertex is removed and the two adjacent vertices are connected with a straight line.

The procedure for the deletion of an inner vertex
  1. Start function Delete node:

    1. either call menu function Modify > Polyline edit > Edit polyline – Delete node,

    2. or click button [Polyline edit ] > [Delete node on polyline] (image\Icon_Pline_Edit.gif > image\Icon_Pline_Delete_vertex.gif) on toolbar Geometrical manipulations,

  2. Select the polylines from which the inner nodes (vertices) should be removed.

  3. Press [Esc] to end the selection.

  4. Select the nodes that should be removed.

  5. Press [Esc] to end the function.

  6. The selected nodes are removed from the selected polylines.

Note: If any entities have been selected prior to calling this function, the function itself does not require making of any other selection. The function is applied on the selection made beforehand. Only the inner nodes for the deletion must be specified.
