anchor points
Fixed connection spots
Anchor points are fixed positions that serve as reference or attachment sites.
In graphic design software, anchor points are the nodes that define the shape of a path—dragging them reshapes curves and lines.
In climbing, anchor points are secure attachments for ropes.
In anatomy, they're where muscles attach to bone.
The term appears wherever something needs a stable point of connection: Set your anchor points before adjusting the curve.
