Grips—Add Vertex
The Add Vertex grip is for objects drawn using the Polyline, Rectangle, or POLYGON command. When you hover over a grip, a tooltip displays the options Stretch, Convert to Arc, Convert to Line, and Add Vertex, or you can right-click and get a menu that shows all the grip options.
Step 17. Use the Add Vertex grip to draw a vertex on the right side of the rectangle just drawn, as described next (Figure 3-40):
