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

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

In order to speed up performance, the display of certain kinds of objects can be simplified. If you display wide polylines (PLINE) and donuts (DONUT), solid-filled polygons, hatches (HATCH), gradient fills, and TEXT in a simplified form, the display... Read More

To change the LWEIGHT of an object, you can do : If an object's lineweight is set to BYLAYER, move it to another layer with a different lineweight, the object will acquire the lineweight of the new layer. If an object's lineweight is set... Read More

The current LWEIGHT is the lineweight used for newly drawing object. You can make another lineweight current according to your requirement. The current lineweight you are using to draw objects is displayed in the Lineweight control on the Properties... Read More
