Susan, Take a gander at your Design Shop Digitizing and Software manual....in the index under type of tieoff/tie-in. With the 7.00.018 series software this info is found on pages 71-72 and with the 6.08 series of software it will be found on pages 60-62 in the manual........gives a pretty good description of the style and how they work.......
