An ordinate dimension annotates the perpendicular distance from an origin or base point (the origin of the current UCS). Ordinate dimensions consist of an x- or y-coordinate and a leader. The ordinate dimension text is always aligned with the... Read More

Extends objects such as line segment, arc, polyline or ray to a block. Objects would be extended to a block as close as possible if they cannot intersect with each other. Menu : Express>Blocks>Extend to Nested Objects Command Entry : BEXTEND... Read More

Angular dimensions measure the angle between two lines or three points. You can also measure angle of an arc or angle between two radius of circle. You can add a baseline dimension or a continued dimension after you created an angular dimension. Read More

Layer names listed in the Layer Properties Manager (LAYER) can be sorted by name or by property, such as color or visibility. To show only the layers you want to work with in a large drawing, you can use the layer filter and select any of the... Read More

To improve drawing efficiency, you can display a rectangular grid and snap it. You can also control its spacing, type and behavior. The grid helps you align objects and determine the distances between them. When SNAP mode is on, the movement of the... Read More

This function can search frames automatically, calculate according to the size of the frame and then arrange several drawings to a big drawing. Menu: Express tools>Plot Tool>Arrange Frame Automatically Command Entry : ZDPT Operation steps: ... Read More

Aligns text, mtext and block attribute objects to new orientation. Rotates text, mtext, and attribute definition objects so that they end up being as close as possible to horizontal or right-read (similar to the behavior of dimension text). Objects... Read More

You can set the drawing scale before drawing, when you are using other tools (for example "Line Such as Chord" and "Modify Line width"), our software will adjust the scale automatically Menu : Express>GstarCAD Tools>Drawing Scale Command Entry ... Read More

Dimensions the point coordinate in the drawing. Menu : Express>Coordinate Tools>Coordinate Point Command Entry : DIMCOORD Read More

The radius and diameters of arcs (ARC) and circles (CIRCLE) are annotated by Radial dimensions. Optionally centerlines or center marks can be included. DIMRADIUS measures the radius of an arc or circle. DIMDIAMETER measures the diameter of an arc... Read More
