Using single-line text, you can create one or more lines (LINE) of TEXT , where each line is an independent object. When you create single-line text, you can start a new line by press ENTER or click in the drawing. When you create single-line text,... Read More

Multiline is a kind of special object. You can modify it by MLEDIT , but can not modify it by fillet, chamfer and some other function. Edit Multiline Styles To change the properties , end caps and the background fill of subsequently created... Read More

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

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

There are three choices for how the COLOR , LINETYPE , and LWEIGHT properties of objects are treated when BLOCK is inserted: Retain their original properties. For this choice, it is recommended that you set the properties individually for each... Read More

A SPLINE is a smooth curve, which passes through or near a given set of points, . You can draw a spline by specifying series of points , start tangents and end tangents. You can use two methods for creating splines: Create spline curves with the... Read More

A joined sequence of arcs (ARC)and lines (LINE), treated as a single entity is called a polyline (PLINE). A polyline can be drawn with any LINETYPE and its width can be kept constant or tapered with over the length of any segment. You can modify the... Read More

Multiline objects are created by using the MLINE command. A multiline is composed of 1-16 parallel lines (two lines by default). The STANDARD style for drawing a multiline has two elements. You can create new styles and modify their definition by... Read More

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
