Briefly talk about the basic use of PEN tools in FW.

   Status:
A pen with a small fork (when drawing a line) ———— indicates that the state is not put on. The left mouse button is equivalent to the starting point of the drawing line.
A pen with a small sharp angle ———— represents the pen editing status. The left key corresponds to the node of the selected line. After the node is selected, continue to press and hold the left hand, drag the mouse can change the curve of the line, the pen into a small black arrow; when the curve of the line is appropriate, let go of the left button, small black arrows become nothing with the pen.
The small black Arrow ———— indicates that the left key is not placed, you can drag the mouse to change the line's bending degree.
A pen with nothing ———— indicates that a starting point has been drawn and is waiting for the next node to be identified. Click the left key to determine the next node.
A pen with a small circle ———— the starting point of the line. Point left, the line is complete; the pen returns to the state with the fork.
A pen with a minus sign ———— indicates that the pen tool is pointing to a node, and that the node is between two nodes, and that the line between the two nodes adjacent to the node is at least one segment that has no curvature at that node (that is, closer to the line as it is closer to the node). Left-click to delete the node, the left button after continuing to press and hold the left hand, drag the mouse can change the adjacent two lines of the bending degree, the pen into a small black arrow; when the curve of the line is appropriate, let go of the left button, small black arrows become nothing with the pen.
A pen ———— with a plus sign indicates that the pen tool is pointing to a connection in two nodes. Click Left to add new nodes.
Small white arrows (emphasis, in fact, is also very simple) ———— the line is in edit-modified state, you can drag the bending control point of the line to change the degree of bending of the line, you can select the node to change the location of the node. In the Pen tool state, you can turn a small white arrow state by pressing CTRL.

   Special case:
When drawing is not connected to the graph (that is, the end is not connected), the drawing to the appropriate time to switch tools on it. When you edit a connected graphic, select the graphic, and then select the Pen tool. A pen with a small sharp corner (when editing) appears, the left mouse button to reduce the point of curvature, the pen tool into a minus. The equivalent of point two can be deleted from the node.
In addition, you can also use the Pointer tool (black arrows, note that there is no "small" word), some selected tool (white arrow) to modify the pen tool to draw the diagram. When the diagram is selected, hold down Alt. The mouse is turned into a small white arrow, modified by the method above.

   Description:
Node ———— a small solid box that appears when you select a graphic with the Pointer tool is a node.
The selected node ———— switch to the Pen tool (or freeform tool) in the state of the selected graphic, which is more difficult to master. Then the node becomes hollow. When the pen tool selects one of the points, the hollow becomes solid again. Then you can say that the node is selected.
The curvature control point ———— the vertices of two or more lines that come out of the shape in the selected state. Unlike nodes, control points are always solid dots.

Suggestion: Use more try, nature will master.
