Scale Action can be matched with the Linear Parameter, Polar and XY Parameter to achieve various Dynamic effects. Linear Scale 1.Draw Finish drawing an access hole in a model space and define it as a block, as shown in the following picture.   2... Read More

Take the step shaft as an example, if we stretch the left part of the step shaft and the keyway still is at the center point of the smaller diameter shaft after stretching, as the following picture shows: Then, we use the "Distance Multiplier"... Read More

There is an easy way to realize the two-way stretch which is adding two actions of stretch. Though it can realize a two-way stretch, the action of stretch is independent. The parameter needs some additional setup to realize the two-way symmetrical... Read More

For mechanical designs, we often need to stretch the keyway to a certain length. Now, let us see how to realize an accurate stretch. Pick linear parameter in block editor (BEDIT), click entry frame which is on the right side of" distance type" on the... Read More

During a mechanical design, we often need to change the position as well as the dimension of the keyway. In this section, we will add Linear Tensile function for the keyway on the step shaft. Add linear parameter   2. Add stretch action Click the... Read More

Actually, limited to the demand of the material mechanics characteristics, keyway is only allowed to be placed on the central line. So, a horizontal movement is enough for keyway and the movement to other direction is not meaningful. Next we will... Read More

Although the majority of parameters only taken into effect when operations are matched with actions, there are exceptions, base point parameter is one of them. 1．Define blocks Define block and draw a circle in the block editor, as shown in the... Read More

The current LINETYPE is shown in the Linetype control on the Properties toolbar and all objects you draw will use the current linetype. You can also set the current linetype with the Linetype control. If you set current linetype to BYLAYER, all... Read More

For each conceptual grouping (like doors or windows), a new LAYER can be established, named and be given common properties. To control the visibility and object properties of a lot of objects simultaneously, you can organize objects into layers. ... Read More
