In order to get a high quality Dynamic Block, improve block editing efficiency and avoid repeating modification, we can finish creating Block by the following steps. Step 1: PlanningBefore creating Dynamic Block, it is essential to plan Dynamic... 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 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

Use RECTANG to create rectangular shape polylines. You can specify the length, width, area, dimensions and rotations. Use POLYGON to create closed polylines with 3-1,024 equal-length sides, you can create equilateral triangles, squares, pentagons... 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

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

Controls the displaying and plotting order of overlapping objects. When you create a drawing, overlapping objects like TEXT , wide polylines (PLINE) or solid-filled polygons are displayed in the order in they are created. To change the draw order,... Read More

In order to speed up performance, the display of certain kinds of objects can be simplified. If you display wide polylines (PLINE) and donuts (DONUT), solid-filled polygons, hatches (HATCH), gradient fills, and TEXT in a simplified form, the display... Read More

The same LINETYPE can be changed to different scales by changing the linetype scale factor globally or individually for each object. By default, global scale factor and current object scales are set to 1.0. You will see the Global Scale Factor and... Read More

An object's LINETYPE can be changed in three different ways: If an object's linetype is set to BYLAYER, move it to another layer with a different linetype, the object will acquire the linetype of new layer. Choose another linetype for... Read More
