If you want to realize symmetric stretch keeping keyway center no change and the length of smaller diameter shaft changes with stretch at same time, how will realize that? 1. Add Stretch for Step Shaft: Add stretch parameter and action for step shaft... Read More

Take 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 smaller diameter shaft after stretching. As the following picture shows: Then, we use “Distance Multiplier” property of... Read More

For example, during mechanical design, we often need change the position as well as the dimension of the keyway. In this section, we will add Linear stretch function for the keyway on the step shaft. 1. Add Linear Parameter: Add linear... Read More

When you use the "roughness symbol block" to label the spare parts, the symbol is sometimes already in the right position, however, the characters' direction is not right. We need to add the "character flip" function to receive the correct... Read More

When building the block definition, the selection order is the key. If you simply window off the geometry there is a good possibility the prompt order will not be as desired. When selecting objects for a block definition, first individually pick the... Read More

3 ways to modify block definition Block is very useful as reusable contents. And when you need to create similar objects in your drawing. One of the most popular benefits is when you need to modify all instances; you only need to modify one. All... Read More

Have you ever felt like the middle mouse wheel zoom is too fast or too slow when drawing? It can depend on the scale of the drawing and objects you are working on, or perhaps even your mood. This speed of the zoom in and out is controlled by a system... Read More

This function is used to set break width for Cross objects. Menu : Express > GstarCAD Tools > Control Break WidthCommand Entry : CBKWID Operation steps: 1.Start the command. 2.Enter the width of the break space.   Read More

This function can not only do the fillet operation but can also unify the filleted line layer, color and line type and the unified standard will take the first selected fillet object as reference. Menu : Express > GstarCAD Tools > Super... Read More
