Hold the right pointer button, choose Edit Pointnode from the menu, then release the button.
 
 

The usual cursor will change to the edit cursor, and any graphic characteristics will be temporarily hidden, leaving a simple black dot, which will be highlighted when you point to it.
 
 

Still pointing at the pointnode, hold the left pointer button, drag the pointnode to its new location, and release the button.
 
 

Optionally, for more precise placement, you may click on the pointnode with the left pointer button. The Edit Pointnode window appears showing the exact coordinates of the pointnode.
 
 

You may position the pointer in the X or Y box and use the backspace and digit keys to directly edit the coordinates.
 
 

Or you may use the + or - buttons to increment or decrement the values. First point to the right of the digit that you want to change and click the left pointer button.

(Hint: Because the units are usually very small (e.g., centimeters), you will probably want to increment or decrement in units of 100 or more, depending upon your zoom level.)
 
 

Then point to the + or - button and click or hold the left pointer button until you are satisfied with the position of the pointnode.
 
 

If you move the pointnode near a vertex on one of your lines, the Snap Pointnode button becomes usable. (It is no longer grayed-out.)
 
 

If you click the Snap Pointnode button, the pointnode will snap to the exact coordinates of the vertex.
 
 

When you are happy with the position of the pointnode, click Close .
 
 

To exit edit mode, hold the right pointer button, choose Exit Edit Mode from the menu, then release the button.
 
 

The usual cursor will return, as will any graphic characteristics that you set for this pointnode.
 
 

To edit another pointnode you may point to it and choose Edit Pointnode again from the right-button menu. You may only edit one pointnode at a time.
