A Blend-Point has a single X-axis value. It is a point on the X-axis where one segment ends and the next segment starts.

You can see Blend-Points as a small diamond, ◊, symbol. The diamond is actually two triangles.

Note: to increase the size of the diamonds, ◊, Blend-Point symbols, use: Active-Motion-Settings > Accessibility > Line and Symbol Sizes > Symbol Size.

	Blend-Point - two triangles to give a diamond, each triangle identifies the end of a segment and the start of a segment.
	Active Blend-Point - has a red, or orange, outline, is at the start of the red Selected Segment.
	The Start of the Selected-Segment. This symbol may also be Black, Clear, or Grey.
	The End of a Segment. This symbol may be Clear or Grey.

It is important to understand that each Blend-Point is defined by its:

X-axis motion-value Each Blend-Point has one X-axis Value, for all motion-derivatives

Y-axis motion-values Each Blend-Point has two Y-axis motion-values, at each motion-derivative.

Y-axis Motion-Value 1:

•Is at the end of the Previous-Segment

Y-axis 2 Motion-Value 2:

•Is at the start of the Next-Segment

To edit the motion-values of each Blend-Point, use the:
