ReMark Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Isn't the Control Vertices available on the Grip menu? Are you really using AutoCAD 2000 or did you fail to update your Profile? Options may vary depending on the version of AutoCAD one is using. Here is one explanation regarding the use of the Control Vertices Method: http://www.g-wlearning.com/CAD/9781605253282/student/ch04/PDF/SupMat03.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
