Relative coordinates VS. Absolute coordinates
When we use Relative Coordinates, we type the X and Y coordinates relative to the last point, it’s always about the last point.
When we use Absolute Coordinates, we type X and Y coordinates on the current coordinate system to locate the point relative to the origin. It’s always about the origin, the absolute (0,0).
E-transmit— —professional communicative tool for CAD drawings
Where there is design, there is communication. With the increasing of different department, collaborative design in different regions, making sure the communicative function of files […]
A closer look at the REGION command
We can’t directly draw a region, we can only get a region by selecting an object and make it an region, which is similar to Hatch.
Why the newly-created objects have disappeared?
Sometimes the newly-created object would disappear when we have just created it, which may caused by color setting problem or layer setting problem
Why we can’t separately specify the scale value for X, Y and Z axis when inserting some blocks?
When inserting blocks, we can check the Uniform Scale box or uncheck it to separately specify the scale value for X, Y and Z axis, but sometimes, the Uniform Scale is unavailable…
What is BAK? How to disable BAK?
If you feel that generating a bunch of BAK files takes up space, it is not necessary, you can let CAD not generate BAK files, the setting method is very simple. It can be set directly through the “Options” dialog box or directly through variables.
Encountered an unknown error? Try Reset!
When it’s hard to find the real problem or it’s really time-consuming to find the cause, we can reset the CAD or set it to default.
How picking points affects the Hatch effect
There are two ways to create hatch: Pick points and Select objects. Users prefer to pick points when hatching, because the area that we are going to hatch is normally a closed area enclosed by several graphic objects.
Why there is no preview for my drawing commands?
The DRAGMODE system variable is used to control the preview effect when dragging objects with cursor or drawing.
