Dovetail cutter???

[Ron Wood]

Here is a dumb question, but can you click on the point/line in your drawing to highlight it and then just hit the "delete" button on your keyboard? Just asking because I do not have that program and have never used it.

Short answer is that the delete key does nothing inside the program (so far). There must be another way to delete points, lines, whatever; I just haven't found it and the tutorial hasn't mentioned it. Yet.

The delete key would be intuitive, wouldn't it???

I think I found how to delete text [it's the Er key]; now I just need to get rid of that pesky point I mistakenly added...

I'm drawing the calculator, slowly...It's not very easy...Hey, my IQ is only 103...

OK, I got through the tutorial. I now have a printed-out stick drawing of a calculator outline.

Envelopes are much more intuitive.

The delete key does work, but you also have to confirm by hitting "enter". Look at the bottom of the screen when you hit "delete", and you will se text saying "press ENTER to erase selected objects". There are some commands that have to be confirmed with the enter key, so if nothing happens: Just look at the bottom of the screen and see what it says.
