What to practice
- How to select an already existing object. Hint: When the pointer hovers above an object it highlights and the pointer changes its shape from a cross to an arrow. Clicking selects the corresponding object.
- How to create a point that lies on an object.
Hint: The point is displayed in a light blue color. Always check if the point really lies on the object by dragging it with the mouse (
Move tool).
- How to correct mistakes step-by-step using the
Undo and
Redo buttons.
