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

The LINETYPE command is used to load, set up and modify linetypes. Command Access: Ribbon : Home > Properties > LINETYPE CONTROLMenu : Format> Linetype...Command : LINETYPE Function Description: Inputting "-linetype" under command prompt,... Read More

ANGLE (A) option is added for line command, with this option you can get a fast way to draw a line without assistance of the polar or a xline. You can directly input the angle value refers to X axis as well as you can take other line as reference to... Read More

This function can convert one or multiple connected straight line (s), arc (s) to one polyline . You can access it from: Menu : Express tools>Draw>Line to Polyline Command Entry : Line2pl After starting the command, a prompt message will be... 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

Linear dimensions can be created with horizontal, vertical and aligned dimension lines. They can also be stacked or created end to end. Create Horizontal and Vertical Dimensions A horizontal or vertical dimension can be created according to the... Read More

You can use the LINE command to generate one or a series of continuous line segments. Each segment is a separate line object, you can assign properties such as COLOR , LINETYPE and lineweight (LWEIGHT) to each line. If you want to connect the... Read More

The same LINETYPE can be changed to different scales by changing the linetype scale factor globally or individually for each object. By default, global scale factor and current object scales are set to 1.0. You will see the Global Scale Factor and... Read More

A line or a curve in a drawing can consist of repeating patterns of dashes, dots and blank spaces, which is called the linetype. Objects can have their individual LINETYPE or by layer or independent of layers assigned individually. You can set its... Read More
