[Note]Note

Only available in drawing mode [Drawing].

  • Insert polyline

    Follows...

  • Split polyline

    Polylines, such as for example occur when cutting two cylinders, are also split into "calculable" single segments with this function (circular arcs, ellipses, etc.).

    As a group of single segments, the polyline can be edited and/or trimmed as well as imported to a CAD system with the "recognizable" properties.

    In the example on the right (section greatly enlarged), the polyline [Polyline] can be broken up [Cut element between 2 elements] and trimmed using an element between 2 points [Cut element between 2 elements], for example.

  • Scale drawing

    Click on the Scale drawing icon to open the dialog box of the same name.

    Enter the desired scaling factor [Scale factor] in the Value input field.

    Optionally, activate the Create SCALE variable [Create variable SCALE].

    Confirm with Ok.

    -> The drawing is scaled and the Edit element docking window is opened.

    Example:

    Original drawing

    Original drawing

    Drawing scaled with scaling factor [Scale factor] 1.5

    Drawing scaled with scaling factor [Scale factor] 1.5

    You can adjust the scaling factor [Scale factor] and reference point [Reference point] X / reference point [Reference point] Y in the Edit element docking window.

    • Scaling factor [Scale factor]: Values > 1 enlarge the original element(s), values < 1 reduce the size

    • Reference point X / Reference point Y: By default, the zero point is the reference point; however, you can select any reference point.
