Rotation 
-
Twists objects about a point. Choose an object. Specify a base point
for rotation of the object. Enter an angle of rotation in AutoCAD
command line (this angle concerns to the current object position). You
can set an angle, moving of the cursor, at which one copy of the object
will be dragged after the cursor. If the button ORTHO in the AutoCAD
status bar is turned on, then the object can be rotated only on 90
degrees in all directions.
Unites objects
- Creates a combined area or
dense
body (solid) from two or more areas
or solids. Irrespective of the objects number , which you unite, the
received body get a layer of the first selected object. Specify
consistently those objects, which you want to unite and press the right
button or key Enter. The objects must be areas or 3D solids and, to
have
crossed (sections) or tangential parts, that can be united.
Internal cutting
- Cuts
out the
crossed surface
of an area or the volume of a dense body (solid) with other like it.
Choose areas or dense solids, from which you want to cut out.Then
choose objects, which are crossed with them.Sequence of the operations:
- Specify with the left mouse button the
object (1), which has to be cut out and then press the right
button or
key Enter
from the keyboard.
- Specify with the left button object (2), which is
crossed with object (1) and click the right button or key Enter.
The result is object (1) with volume of the crossed area with object
(2) . If you use the opposite sequence of selection, you will cut out
object (2). The operation works with 3D solids only .
Cuts out section
-Creates
area or solid got
from the section of overlapped surfaces, or
volumes of two or more areas or bodies. Select consistently
with the left button the overlapped areas (2D) or dense bodies (3D).
Press the right button or key Enter
to cut out section. Remains only surface or volume which is common for
the chosen objects. The rest is deleted. Use only same objects (2D or
3D).
Create area
-Creates
object "area" representing a
closed two dimensional surface. Choose consistently, using the left
button of the mouse those objects, which you want to unite in area.
Then press the right button to unite them. You can specify closed
polylines, linear segments, circles, ellipses and splines. You
can not use objects, which are not in one plain, but are only crossed
(as for example figure "8").
Creates a three-dimensional body
- Extruding
of 2D primitives. Creates simple 3D body by drawing out (on
a direction of an axis Z) existing closed 2D objects. The control of
operation is in AutoCAD command line .The
execution of operation
does not depend on the
position of the coordinate system.
Select objects:Choose
object or objects - closed polylines, circle,
polygon and etc. Do not select objects, which are crossed (as for
example figure "8"). Use the right button to finish the choice of
objects.
Specify height of
extrusion or [Path]: -AutoCAD requires from you to define
extension (depth) of the future 3D body, using movement of the mouse.
It can be made by entering of numeric value (0.60) too, answering to
the needed thickness of a material, which you create. If you enter
negative value, you will get similar effect of thickness, but on
the opposite direction on Z.
Specify angle of taper for extrusion 0: - The program
asks about an angle of narrowing at the extension of the body. If you
press Enter,it acceptes the value by default (0 degrees). You get a
stretched (dragged out) figure, which walls are perpendicular to the
plain, in which is located the original object . You can set an angle
of narrowing between 0 and 90 degrees, at which the walls are inclined
inwards. If the angle is between 0 and (-90) degrees, the walls are
inclined outwards.
Draws spline
-
Uses a sequence of points as a basis for construction of a smooth
curve. The management of operation makes in the AutoCAD command line.
Specify first point or [Object]: - Specify
the start point,
which you can snap to a point from the other object.
Specify
next point: - Specify next point.
Specify next point or
[Close/Fit tolerance] start tangent: -
Specify next point, drawing a curve on the basis of the two previous.
You can write Close or only C and to click on Enter. The third curve
will contact to first and will create an irregular circle.
Specify start tangent: -
Press Enter
Specify end tangent: - Press Enter
After drawing of the spline, mark it. Use its manipulation points to
change its contours or to snap it to other object.
Creates a mirror copy of the object
-
Mirror- The control of the
operation makes in the AutoCAD command line.
Choose object or objects, on which you want to create a
mirror
copy and click the right mouse button or
Enter.
Specify first point of
mirror line: - Specify
start
point for rotation of the copy.
Specify second point of
mirror line: -Drag
out and make rotation, using the mouse, about the first point to choose
an angle of rotation. Press the left button for the second point.
Delete source
objects? [Yes/No]:.
- If you answer with
Y and press Enter the original will be
deleted, keeping on the screen only the copy. By default active is N.
If you want to keep the original, press Enter.
Change
of objects sizes (scaling) 
-
Choose one or some objects from the project (use the left button of the
mouse). The right button or Enter
confirm your choice. Specify in the drawing an index point to begin
scaling. Then enter the scale factor. By default the factor value is 1.
If you enter value= 2, then the chosen objects will increase their
sizes 2 times. The values less than 1 decrease the overall dimensions
of objects proportionally. The operation is used for 2D or 3D
primitives.
Explode
- splitting on components 
- Divides
units (blocks) and
others 2D or 3D objects on their component
parts. Choose an object from the drawing and click on the button.
Depending on its kind the chosen object (2D, 3D or unit) will
disintegrate on its constructional primitives. The result is a complete
set of untied 2D primitives.
Fillet angles
- Fillet
angles got from crossing of lines. The control of execution of the
operation makes in
the AutoCAD command line. The syntax of parameters
and commands differs for different groups of primitives. In a concrete
example is used a 3D dense rectangular body (3D solid).

Current settings: Mode = TRIM, Radius =
0.00
- The option TRIM cuts lines for creating of an elegant rounding ,
but
if you change the parameter to NoTRim, after the end of operation the
lines will be kept. The option Radius sets radius for the future
chamferings. Activation of this option interrupts execution of the
command. These two options keep the last entered parameters and applies
them by default until you don't make changes.
Select first object or [Polyline/Radius/Trim]: - Choose
(specify) object or part from it (line).
|
|
Enter
fillet radius: 0.05 - Offers the last entered radius
for a chamferring of angles by default . Radius is equal to the half of
the
distance between two lines (angle) calculated on a direct line. For
example, if the element will be a worktop and you need to chamfer its
one side only , it is necessary to enter as value of radius for
chamferring half from the thickness of the worktop.
The worktop has
thickness 4 cm.. You must enter 0.02 (meters) for the maximal rounding
or 0.01 (m ) for smoother rounding. If value by default in the concrete
case is a suitable, confirm it with Enter.
|
|
|
Select an edge or [Chain/Radius]:
-Expects from you to
specify the following object or part of it (line). The second line must
not be an element of filleting (ellipse curve). You can use each of
primitive's lines . For not next lines, laying in different plains, you
will get two corners simultaneously.
|
|
|
The
chamferred corner will looks like this. You can fillet and
the others
angles of the primitive. If one of the ends of the primitive
is an
ellipse or arch (3D), and the rest part - rectangular form,
the
rounding must be done separately - for an arch and for a
rectangular.
Then unite them.
|
2D Lines
|
  
|
The
operation is similar to the 3D primitives. At first specify
one line and
then another. Fillets the closest angles, drawing an
imaginary circle
on the endmost points of the lines, which will not be
rounded. Radius
is used by default (based on the last executed
entering ) and if it exceeds
the radius of the described imaginary circle, you can not choose the
second line. In such case when you see the message:
Current settings: Mode = TRIM, Radius =
0.09
Select
first object or [Polyline/Radius/Trim]: ( Enter R)
and enter new value of the radius equal to the half of the
distance on Y
between the two end points of lines (most remote one from another).
After that activate operation on chamferring again.

Chamfer angles
- Chamfers the
top (angle)
between two crossed lines (or nearly so
crossed) at 2D primitives or plain (at 3D primitives). You can chamfer
all 2D and 3D primitives. The control of the operation makes in the
AutoCAD
command line. The syntax of operation differs for 2D and 3D primitives.

To get chamferring of a part from the
plain at distance between the two lines of plain 0.02 m., enter the
following values for the first and second line.
Specify base surface chamfer distance:
0.01
- for the first line, not less than distance between
the two lines.
Specify other surface chamfer distance
<0.01>: 0.03 - for the second line
For complete chamferring, which begins directly
from the first base line, enter for value of the first line
the full size of plain between
the two lines closing it.

To get chamferring for all adjoining
plains simultaneously, if
the distance between the two lines of the plain is 0.02
m., enter the following
values for the first and the second line.
Specify base surface chamfer distance:
0.005
- For the first line, it is less than the half on the appropriate axis
or one quarter from the distance between two lines.
Specify other surface chamfer distance <0.01>: 0.03
- For the second line - less than half on the appropriate axis or one
quarter from distance between the two lines.
