  You have to "set the last point" by left clicking and then hit the enter key after.
  
  Also in the Webinar - Andy noted that you can use the "escape" key when drawing a line if you don't like what you are doing
  
  and that if you have a line with multiple nodes, and you want to eliminate the last node placed, you can hit the "Delete" key and it will go back (remove) the last node one at a time.

  Go Vols!

  Believe me - I understand - I actually "heard" Andy state this in the Webinar last week BUT missed the part about having to "set" the point first by left clicking - I just heard the hit the enter key to end the line. So, when I went to "practice" later I couldn't figure out why it wasn't ending when I hit the enter key!
  
  We will all learn together as we all share with each other! ">

  Another question:
  Can I edit the nodes?

  When you say "edit" the nodes - can you better explain what you mean?
  
  Then that said, I am not sure - first depending upon what you mean and second, I don't know if I have tried that yet! (or seen anything about it yet either!)
  
  If you "explain" what you are talking about/wanting to do - maybe we can figure it out or one of the gurus will take mercy on us and tell us!

  Go Vols!

  You draw a line with many clicks...than finish with ..click enter
  
  Now you are not happy with the line. What can we do? Edit Points?

  Ah, well we will have to see what we can figure out or what someone else tells us! I am headed into my workroom in a little bit to start working with the program and more so I will see if I can figure anything out. Will also check the information and notes I have already compiled for any hints/info. on this.

  Go Vols!

  @Ulrikelk150 - I have posted a similar issue, I cannot figure out how to resize the line. I don't think you can node edit it, there isn't a tool for that. The resize does not seem to work either.

  Still using MTC but slowly migrating to SCAL. KNK cutters including the Force and Maxx Air continue to be my favourites. Fluent in other cutter languages.

  @Ulrikelk150 While MTC is not necessary to use PCS, it's easy to copy a shape between the two programs for editing (and MTC is an excellent vector editor) and they come in the correct size.
