var. var. Interactive Split Tool incorrectly identified as Split Polygon Tool

3 103-4 Text correction: Instructions for Interactive Split Tool
Step 3. incorrectly identifies the Interactive Split Tool as the Split Polygon tool. In addition, the final three sentences of the instruction, beginning with "Drag the mouse..." should read as follows:

"Drag the mouse back and forth and you can see when the Interactive Split tool snaps to the middle of the edge. Release the mouse at the snap point and that will place the point in the middle of that edge."


The first sentence of Step 4. on page 104 repeats the erroneous identification of the tool, and should also be changed to read as follows:

"Use the snapping to place Interactive Split points in the middle of the remaining three edges of the box to create a horizontal split line in the middle of the box, as shown in Figure 3.67."

5 208 Text correction: Instructions for using the Split Polygon/Interactive Split tool
