CADD-1 Lesson 6
Modify and Construct Commands
Command | Definition |
---|---|
ERASE command | removes selected entities from a drawing file. |
COPY command | creates duplicate copies of selected entities. |
MOVE command | moves the selected entities from one location to another. |
OFFSET command | allows for the creation of offset curves and parallel lines at a specified distance. |
MIRROR command | reflects selected entities around a user specified access. |
Symmetrical | having identical forms on either side of an axial line. (Reflective) |
TRIM command | erases portions of selected entities that cross a specified boundary. |
EXTEND command | allows the operator to lengthen a line arc, or polyline to meet an existing boundary. |
STRETCH command | allows you to move a portion of a drawing while retaining connections to other parts. (Can only use the crossing option) |
Fillet | a curved surface of constant radius blending two otherwise intersecting surfaces. |
Chamfer | Beveled edge blending two otherwise intersecting surfaces |
FILLET command | constructs an arc of specified radius between two lines, arcs, or circles. |
CHAMFER command | constructs a beveled edge of a specified distance or angle. |
BREAK command | Erases portions of an object. (Not very accurate) |
CHANGE PROPERTIES | changes the color, linetype, layer, lineweight, thickness, etc.. of selected objects. |
MATCH Properties | Copies the properties of a selected object and transposes those properties to an existing object |
ROTATE command | moves objects about a basepoint at a specified angle. |
Dynamic Modifying | Allows for modification using the mouse, not very accuarate in most cases. |
Rectangular Array | Creates an array defined by the number of rows & columns of copies of the selected objects |
Polar Array | Creates an array defined by specifying a center and #of objects about which AutoCAD replicates at an equal distance. |
SCALE command | enlarges or reduces selected objects equally. |
EXPLODE command | shatters a polyline or block into it's individual entities. |
U command | Backs up one command at a time. |
UNDO command | Allows you to back up a specific number of commands or set marks to back up to. |
REDO command | Allows you to reverse the previous undo command. |
TIME command | Provides a means to track the time spent on a drawing, provides the current date, & time, and when the drawing was last updated. |
SNAP command | when on, snaps your crosshairs along an imaginary grid of dots. |
GRID command | Allows you to specify a spacing, reflects the limit settings, and provides a visual means of referencing distance. |
PLINE command | Creates a group of polyline segments as a single entity. They are more versatile than regular line segments. |
Polyline | A 2D polyline is a connected sequence of segments created as a single planar object. |
PEDIT command | Allows you to join 2D polylines, converting lines and arcs into 2D polylines, and converting polylines into curves that approximate B-splines (spline-fit polylines). |
B-Spline | Uses a sampling of of points to approximate mathematical functions that define a complex curve. |
