    The polygon feature(s) are displayed.
  2. Press ALT+D.

    The Digitizer is activated.
  3. Press SHIFT and click on one or more polygons.

    The polygons are selected.

  4. Press the mouse right button in the map view.

    A pop up menu appears.

  5. Choose Advanced Feature Creation Options | Create New Points from Selected Area and Line Features.

    The vertices are converted to point features.
