Draft Edit/pl

Description

This tool allows you to edit graphically certain properties of the selected object, such as the vertices of a Wire, or the length and width of a Rectangle, or the radius of a Circle. It does nothing more than enter the object's edit mode, so other ways to enter edit mode (such as double-clicking the object in the Tree view) give the same result.

How to use

1. Select a wire, line, rectangle, bspline or circle
2. Press the Draft Edit button, or double-click the object in the Tree panel, or use the Std Edit tool.
3. Click on a point you wish to move
4. Click another point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate
5. Press ESC or the Finish button

Options

• The Edit tool only works on one selected object at a time.
• The Edit tool only works on Draft Wires, Rectangles, Circles and Arcs. Other object types must first be converted to Draft objects.
• Click on an edit vertex to move it, click again to release it.
• Press X, Y or Z after a point to constrain the next point on the given axis.
• To enter coordinates manually, simply enter the numbers, then press ENTER between each X, Y and Z component.
• Press CTRL while drawing to force snapping your point to the nearest snap location, independently of the distance.
• Press SHIFT while drawing to constrain your next point horizontally or vertically in relation to the last one.
• Press ESC or the Cancel button or the Draft Edit button again to finish editing.
• Pressing the Add point button allows you to add points to Wires and BSplines by clicking on the segments
• Pressing the Del point button allows you to remove points from Wires and BSplines by clicking on the points to remove
