Edit any drawing object or
group of objects:
|
|
move |
|
|
copy |
|
|
scale |
|
|
rotate |

Group drawing objects:
|
|
by common properties
(color, level, etc.) |
|
|
by type (arc, circle,
etc.) |
|
|
by user-defined name |
|
|
by enclosing in a
fence |
|
|
or any combination of
these methods |
|
|
Create drawing objects
with user-definable properties:
|
|
line style |
|
|
line width |
|
|
line density |
|
|
level/layer |
|
|
plotter pen number |
|
|
screen color |

optional grouping name |
|
|
Change properties
individually or globally |
|
Place drawing objects on
up to 250 levels or layers |
|
Drawing may include up to
30,000 objects |
|
Display and modify object
data such as:
|
|
location |
|
|
length |
|
|
radius |
|
|
rotation |
|
|
area |
|
|
cross-sectional
calculations (center of gravity, movement of inertia, etc.) |
|
|
Geometry construction
utilities for extending or trimming lines/circles/arcs to a common
point, and constructing fillets, chamfers, tangent lines, isometric
views and cross-hatching (more than 40 patterns included) |

parallel to a specified Bezier curve |

drawing portion as a symbol; up to 1,000 symbols per library |
|
Symbols can be
automatically cut into existing objects (such as a door into a wall)
as well as scaled, rotated, and broken back into component parts |
|
Attributes for attaching
non-graphic information (such as part name, cost, size, and material
type) to drawing objects |

dimensions dynamically link drawing objects and its dimensions |
|
Change geometry and the
dimensions update automatically, and vice versa |
|
Dual dimensioning to
display in two different sets of units |
|
