Insert Blocks Once a BLOCK is inserted into a drawing, a block reference is created and you can specify its location, SCALE and rotation (ROTATE). Insert a Drawing File as a Block You can INSERT a entire drawing file as a block in current drawing... Read More

There are three choices for how the COLOR , LINETYPE , and LWEIGHT properties of objects are treated when BLOCK is inserted: Retain their original properties. For this choice, it is recommended that you set the properties individually for each... Read More

A SPLINE is a smooth curve, which passes through or near a given set of points, . You can draw a spline by specifying series of points , start tangents and end tangents. You can use two methods for creating splines: Create spline curves with the... Read More

A joined sequence of arcs (ARC)and lines (LINE), treated as a single entity is called a polyline (PLINE). A polyline can be drawn with any LINETYPE and its width can be kept constant or tapered with over the length of any segment. You can modify the... Read More

Multiline objects are created by using the MLINE command. A multiline is composed of 1-16 parallel lines (two lines by default). The STANDARD style for drawing a multiline has two elements. You can create new styles and modify their definition by... Read More

A polyline (PLINE) is a single object with connected sequence of line segments or and arc segments. You can set the global width of polyline and the starting and ending width for each segments. When you draw a polyline, you can switch to arc by... Read More

You can use the LINE command to generate one or a series of continuous line segments. Each segment is a separate line object, you can assign properties such as COLOR , LINETYPE and lineweight (LWEIGHT) to each line. If you want to connect the... Read More

Define user coordinate systems You can apply a user coordinate system (UCS ) with its own 0,0,0 origin and orientation in three-dimensional spaces. To simplify construction of three-dimensional entities, you can create as many user coordinate... Read More

When you create objects in 3D, Cartesian, cylindrical or spherical coordinates are used to locate points. Enter X.Y.Z coordinates 3D Cartesian coordinates determine a precise location by using three coordinate values: X, Y, and Z. Entering 3D... Read More

Enter absolute coordinate Absolute coordinates are based on the UCS origin (0,0), which is the intersection of the X and Y axis. If you know the precise X and Y values of the point, you can use absolute coordinates. Enter relative coordinate The... Read More
