Using End Modifier Tool and a bit confused

Hi

I wonder if someone can explain something I am struggling with. I am trying to follow the instructions on page 57 of Tome_3plus.pdf. Firstly when Tome says right click and select WINDOW in popup menu, I assume it means ZOOM WINDOW? as this is the only option with the word WINDOW in it. If so it seems to get me further.

Then on point number 7. It says "Hold CTRL and click on LINE" which I am assuming means the RED line. When I do this nothing happens or I get a message saying the modifier (Endpoint) does not work without another command. So I am not sure what I am doing wrong or misunderstanding.

What I think I am understanding is that if you push Ctrl and click on the Red line it will disappear. I am just not sure why it would disappear and therefore think I am not understanding something.


Thank you in advance

    At the point in the process where you right click (after you have picked Copy from the Edit menu) you should get this pop up

    The Window option is 6th in that list. Pick it and then continue with the process. I think the bits you don't understand will become clear to you once you start with the Copy tool in the Edit menu.

    If it doesn't, just say.

    There are things that require explicit training in the software (for example, you have to know to right-click to get a menu at certain points in the process) and that slowly become familiar with training. They are nearly completely undiscoverable until you have done the training and remember to do the non-obvious thing. Right-clicking on things has always been an unnatural activity to me and it still takes me a bit to remember it if I've been away from the software for a while.
