 Slope
Tool
This tool allows you draw a line at a specified slope. This is
commonly used for drawing roof slopes.
Set the desired slope in the tool's dialog. A pop-up menu is
provided for the most common architectual roof slopes.
Draw a slope line.
 Curved
Dashed Tool
This tool allows you draw a dashed curved line.
This is typically used for connecting electrical symbols. In
this case, the tool is simply the WildTools B-spline tool installed
here and set up to draw two styles of dashed lines.
 Projection
Line Tool
The Projection Line tool places projection lines (or optionally,
points) along a reference line.
The Projection Line tool closely emulates the process most
draftsmen use on a drawing board. You establish a reference line,
and when you click on the drawing, projection lines are drawn
perpendicular to the reference line. This allows you to set up
a view in any direction.
When you select the too, the reference line will be shown as
a 'crawling' gray line.
To change the reference line, hold down the Option key and
click on any line in the drawing, or the side of a rectangle or
polygon. The object that you option-click may be inside a group.
In the tool's dialog, you set whether the tool will place a
fixed-length projection line, a line extending from the click-point
to the reference line, or a point on the reference line.
To place a projection line, you click in the drawing. |
