The Quadrant tool adds Cosmetic Vertices at the 90/180/270° points of a circular edge. The 0° vertex should already be there as a geometric vertex.
*Cosmetic vertices at quadrant points of a circle*- Select one or more (circular) Edges in a View.
- Press the Add Quadrant Vertices button.
- Cosmetic vertices will be added at the quarter-points of the edges.
Note: This tool can be used on any edge, not just circles.
To delete a Quadrant Vertex, select it and use the toolbar button Remove Cosmetic Object.
Cosmetic Vertices have no properties of their own, as they are not Document Objects. They share color and size settings with regular geometry vertices.
