Display Commands
LIMITS: Sets the size of the drawing paper. For size "A" drawing paper the limits should be set for
10.5 x 8.
Command: LIMITS (enter)
Specifies a "round off" interval so that points entered with the mouse can be locked into
alignment with the grid spacing.
Note: To return the picture to its original viewing size enter ALL and press the enter key
when prompted instead of defining a window.
ARC:
PAN:
Allows you to move your view point around the drawing without changing the magnification
factor.
Command: PAN (enter)
Editing Commands
CHANGE:
Draws an arc (any part of a circle or curve) through three known points.
Center/ < Start point > : (pick the first point on the arc)
A Layer & Linetype Properties dialog box will be displayed. To add a new layer, pick
the New button. A new layer listing appears, using a default name of Layer1. the layer
name can be changed by highlighting the layer name. Colors and Linetypes can be assigned
to each new layer by picking the color box to assign a color and picking the linetype box to
assign a line type.
Select objects or Window or Last: (Select objects to be erased and press enter when
finished)
EXTEND:
TRIM:
1 = Red 2 = Yellow
3 = Green
5 = Blue 6 = Magenta
7 = White
4 = Cyan
Construction Commands
ARRAY: Makes multiple copies of selected objects in a rectangular or circular pattern
Select Objects (pick the line which represents the cutting edge of line in which
objects will be trimmed to)
Center point of array: (pick the point around which to form the array)
Angle to fill (+=CCW, -=Cw) <360>: (enter)
