Video Transcript

are you guys in today's video? We're gonna be looking at several points play line tool, and this will be for fabric camp software. But before that, let's have a quick intro first. So today's video can be found on softwaretraining.co.za. We make sure an easy to watch problem solving videos, and we also have daily updates otherwise back into the programme. So in the previous video, we looked at our normal poly line tool. Now we're gonna be looking at the second one, which is the pollen line. Several points. Now, uh, do me A This is gonna be a very handy little tool for closing up gaps or connecting. The dots were previously we looked at the, um, line two points. Now we're gonna be looking at. Like I said, the several points it was very convenient, um, to work now on our base and the previous really remember we did the zigzag. So all I've done is I've added a little, um, flat piece on top, going to the right again, and then in the middle of a little piece going on or up in the vertical axis just so we can demonstrate it now. Also, something to keep in mind that's good to cover. Let's say I've got the normal poly line tool active and you want to cancel it to select something. Then, um instead of clicking on different to powers, which you can do is just right. Click a few times and then it will de select that for you because you might find it. Sometimes you click here or I've got this one. I click here to cancel, and then I try Select that every time I click it just wants to add. So then what I do is you can just write, like, a few times and then there we go to reset it for you. So that's something to keep in mind. It's quite handy. I don't think we've covered it. I might add to the selection miniseries, I think, but yeah, otherwise, if we head back here to the actual topic at hand, we're gonna go to the poly line several points. Select that, and I like the two points from the line. We want to find the hotspots. If I, uh, half of my mouth, we can see you've got the slight red little white spots are zooming. Okay, you can't see it on that one cause of my zoom software. But if I go there, you can see we've got that little hot spot pretty much. Now, what you're gonna do is find the hotspots and connect the dots. So I'm gonna go there, click on this one as a starting point, move to the next one until the highlight click, and then with the line, as you can remember where to now, select it again and add another one. Where with the poly line, we can now just carry on. So I'm going to select the next point, then another point and so forth until we complete this shape. Now, also, keep in mind you can put lines over lines, so just keep that in mind. So if I had to create select this, this will be complete. But let's say I wanted to go on this line back to this point. Let's get that highlight going struggling with. There we go. I click that and I cancel selection. Now, if I click this, we'll see if I deleted. They stole that other line. So, uh, keep that in mind. you can do it over, uh, two lines over one. So when you design and just keep that in mind, but yeah, otherwise, that is it on the party line with several points. As you can see, it is rather handy to quickly close off shapes. And then, um yeah, you can use that as a nice little connect the dots. And now we've got this little factory house looking thing in a very short time where if we had to manually close all those things with lines you can imagine it's gonna take Sometimes you have to calculate the middle point here from this point to that point and then all the way around. So it is a very handy tool to have, and, uh, I would definitely recommend getting in the habit of using it, But yeah, otherwise, before we head on, if we had here to, uh softwaretraining.co.za. You guys were noticed. We've got a variety of different Softwares. We recover, and you can also isolate your search on the top. Right? If you do not however, find the training videos you're looking forward, just simply go here requests a training video, but in the mini form. And then we'll do our best to try and make that for you. But otherwise thanks, guys, for watching and cheers.
