To insert or delete sub-polygons in a polygon:

1.	Select the polygon.

2.	Press the Edit Points toolbar button . Small rectangular handles will be drawn at each vertex point of the polygon.

3.	Click on any point handle in a sub-polygon to select it. The currently selected point is indicated by a solid filled handle. All the other points have hollow handles.

4.	With a point in a sub-polygon selected you can:

•	delete the current sub-polygon by pressing the Delete Sub-polygon button or the Ctrl+Shift+Delete key or

•	insert another sub-polygon inside the current sub-polygon by pressing the Insert Sub-polygon button or the Ctrl+Shift+Insert key.

5.	When you are done, press the Edit Points button again to leave Edit Points mode.

Note: Since a polygon must have at least one sub-polygon, the Delete Sub-polygon command is disabled when a polygon only has one sub-polygon.
