Node Edit

Click Node Edit $image\DYNEDIT.gif$ to reshape individual entities.

The NODE EDIT command is a general-purpose command that lets you modify most entities one-at-a-time, using visual screen methods to modify them.

It is most commonly used to reshape polygons and paths used for coastlines, rivers and roads.

Because most dynamic edit instances utilize dynamic cursors (as indicated by the "|DynTrack|" prompt), the SHIFT, CTRL, and SHIFT+CTRL keys can often be used to expand your editing capabilities.
