About Construction Methods
There are two construction methods:
 When the Continuous method is selected, the Trackball is used to define the
flow pattern or
2D image with a continuous motion.
 When the Point to Point method is selected, the Trackball is used to place
points along the flow pattern or
2D image. Press <ENTER> after each point is
positioned and the points will automatically connect. Double-click the last
point to complete the outline.
NOTE The direction of the trace cannot be reversed once started—when
tracing from left to right, the trace can only be completed by continu-
ing towards the right of the flow envelope.
NOTE When defining a portion of a
2D image, no part of the outline can
intersect another segment of the outline.
