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

If you open the ORTHOMODE  , cursor movement is restricted to horizontal and vertical, then you can create and modify drawings more accurately and conveniently. You can turn the Ortho mode on or off by Ortho button on the status bar or press F8 key... 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

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

You can turn on and off Lineweights in a drawing use the LWT on the status bar . The plotting of lineweights is not affected by this setting. In model space, a 0-value LWEIGHT is displayed as one pixel. Regeneration time increases with lineweights... Read More

A line or a curve in a drawing can consist of repeating patterns of dashes, dots and blank spaces, which is called the linetype. Objects can have their individual LINETYPE or by layer or independent of layers assigned individually. You can set its... 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

As the main organizational tool for drawings, LAYER can be used to group information by function and to enforce LINETYPE , COLOR and other standards. The following settings can be controlled: the default color, default linetype and lineweight ... Read More

You can pan a view to reposition it in the drawing area or zoom it to change its magnification. Using the Realtime option of the PAN function, you move your pointing device to pan dynamically. PAN does not change the scale or location of objects... Read More
