Description
The TechDraw Quadrant tool adds three cosmetic vertices along the length of one or more selected edges. The vertices are placed at 25%, 50% and 75% of the length of the edges. For a circular edge this results in cosmetic vertices at 90°, 180° and 270°, in addition to its geometric vertex at 0°.

Usage
- Select one or more edges in a view. Any edge can be selected, not just circles.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the
Add Quadrant Vertices button. - Select the TechDraw → Add Vertices → Add Quadrant Vertices option from the menu.

Properties
Cosmetic vertices have no properties of their own, as they are not document objects. They share color and size settings with regular geometry vertices.
