(Enhancement ) OBLIQUE(O) is a newly added option to draw a rotate rectangle. The behavior of the oblique option is similar to the behavior in line command. With the oblique option, you can locate the angle of the bottom line and the length to get a... Read More

When there are several texts in the drawing which need to be modified, it would be much more tedious and inefficient to modify them one by one. Change text allows users make bulk modifications to several texts. For example, this function can modify... Read More

The 3DORBITCTR command is used to set rotation center in 3D dynamical observation view. Command Access: Command : 3DORBITCTR Command Prompts: Specify orbit center point:Press ESC or ENTER to exit, or right-click to display shortcut-menu. Function... Read More

Place a circle, a slot, or a rectangle around each selected text or mtext object. The diameters of the circles can be constant or fitted to each object. The width and height of the slots and rectangles can be constant or variable. Menu : Text>... Read More

Angular dimensions measure the angle between two lines or three points. You can also measure angle of an arc or angle between two radius of circle. You can add a baseline dimension or a continued dimension after you created an angular dimension. Read More

When you add TEXT to a drawing, the current text style will be used. The text style determines the font, size, angle, orientation and other text characteristics. Every drawing has a default text style, which is named Standard. The Standard style can... Read More

Calculate distances and angles You can get information about the relation between two points by inquiring distance. You can get information as following: Distance = 1525.7461, Angle in XY Plane = 29, Angle from XY Plane = 0Delta X = 1332.6216, Delta... Read More

Polar tracking is used to display temporary alignment paths defined by the polar angles you specify, while you are creating or modifying objects. You can set the angle base (ANGBASE)direction in the Drawing Units dialog box. Alignment paths and... Read More

When you create objects in 3D, Cartesian, cylindrical or spherical coordinates are used to locate points. Enter X.Y.Z coordinates 3D Cartesian coordinates determine a precise location by using three coordinate values: X, Y, and Z. Entering 3D... Read More

By using the mouse or another pointing device, you can move a drawing to view the drawing object from different angles. When you activate 3D navigation  you can PAN and ZOOM at the same time. During a 3D navigation operation, it is not allowed to... Read More
