#DRAFTSIGHT AUTOCAD COMMANDS HOW TO#

Spline allows you to create object like the one below.ДЇeel free to play more with this command to understand and figure out how to use its features ( Options appearing in blue color in the command window while you are drawing).

You can not select the first object without selecting the whole, but you can do so with the second object. The two objects above are identical, but one was made from the Polyline command and the other from the Line command. Polylines are different to Lines in the sense that an object drawn with the Polyline command is formed by lines all being a single object altogether, when an object drawn with the Line command is a series of segments forming the concerned object.

PolyLine VS LineДrawing a Polyline is similar to drawing a Line. If you are interested in learning more about them, check how to draw a circle in AutoCAD. TRIM and EXTEND are two of the most frequently used commands in AutoCAD and DraftSight takes these commands to the next level as seen in Figure 3. Those feature are identical to the one present in AutoCAD and are used the same way. To access advanced feature of the CIRCLE command, you can go to Draw > Circle.

Specify the radius (with a click on the drawing window or by entering the value of the radius).

It is possible to modify the shape of an already drawn Arc, you just need to select the arc and, click on the center point placed on the arc (do not hold the click), and move to change the shape of the Arc. On the fifth step of this method, you can indicate the length of the Arc by typing вЂњ AвЂќ or indicate the angle formed by the arc by typing вЂњ LвЂњ. You can draw an Arc circled around a specific center by using the CENTER feature visible just right after activation of the Arc Command.
