interruption in the connection points. Conenction points are specified in the
X–, X+ and Y-, Y+fields. In these
fields user should enter the actual length of the cut in a given direction from
the insertion point for a symbol in a 1:1 scale. These values can also be
indicated in the drawing after clicking the button or after selecting the All points X, Y… >. The vast majority of the symbols
