7.9.3.14.5.  Attributes -> Polyline

[Note]Note

Only available in Drawing mode.

  • 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 below example (section highly zoomed in) the Polyline can, for example, be taken and cut via Cut element between 2 elements.

  • Scale drawing

    After clicking on the icon Scale drawing the same-named dialog box is opened.

    In the input field Value, enter the desired Scale factor.

    Optionally, activate Create variable SCALE.

    Confirm with OK.

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

    Example:

    Original drawing

    Original drawing

    Drawing scaled with Scale factor 1.5

    Drawing scaled with Scale factor 1.5

    In the docking window Edit element, you can adjust the Scale factor and Reference point X / Reference point Y.

    • Scale factor: Values > 1 will enlarge the original element (or multiple), values < 1 will minimize.

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