Hi,
Does anyone know how to delete vertices (i.e. back up) in ArcMap 10 while drawing in freehand in the construction tools? I was just curious if there was a way to do this without having to go ahead and complete the polygon and then go back and edit the vertices post completion. Thanks!

This confounded me for the longest time too but it turned out to be really simple. 🙂 If you hover the mouse over the vertex and right click there should be an option to delete vertex while you are still sketching. IIRC I think this only works in reverse order, like you can't skip back to the middle but you can delete each one in order back to the middle.
(Correction from my prior statement that the context menu only worked on the last vertex, it actually works on any vertex).
