To change the shape of polyline (PLINE) objects or to join separate polylines, you can access editing operations of PEDIT . Polylines can be edited by closing and opening them, or moving, adding and deleting vertices. Joined Polyline Segments If a... Read More

Create Fillets With a FILLET , you can join two objects with a tangent arc of a specified radius. Set the Fillet Radius When the radius of the filleted is changed, it will affects subsequent fillets. If the fillet radius is set to 0, no arc is... Read More

You can select one or more objects individually at the Select Objects prompt.   Use the Pick box Cursor Move the pick box cursor over an object and click, you can select objects. If selection preview is turned on, when you move the pick box cursor... 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

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

Modify a Block Definition You can edit a block definition or a block reference already inserted in the drawing. If you redefine block definitions in your current drawing, all the block references will be affected simultaneously. you have two options... Read More

An attribute (ATTDEF) is a flag or label that attaches data to a BLOCK . Attribute (ATTDEF) stores the characteristics include the tag, the prompt, value information, text formatting, location and optional modes (Invisible, Constant, Verify, Preset,... Read More
