DRAFTSIGHT 2016 GETTING STARTED FULL

Don’t forget, you can use the Enter key to repeat your last used command for a fast application of constraints.Īdditionally, coincident relations are very important for keeping entities connected during future changes. Once activated, select the entity or entities to apply the constraint to, and in just a few clicks you will have a more robust design that can easily be changed without any extra work. The handles will control the visibility state of the dynamic block just as they did in AutoCAD, making it exceptionally easy to swap between different variants. Simply insert the dynamic block, specify position/size/rotation and then select the block to view the configuration handles. All versions of DraftSight allow you to insert, view and configure existing dynamic blocks from AutoCAD, while DraftSight Premium and Enterprise Plus also allow those blocks to be edited.

Understandably, many DraftSight users are AutoCAD veterans and often have libraries full of dynamic blocks created with AutoCAD that they would like to reuse. If preferred, the pattern can be double-clicked or the EDITPATTERN command can be used to adjust the pattern options using the original dialog.

Click and drag the second handle to dynamically modify instance spacing, and then click and drag the third handle toward the source geometry to remove pattern instances or away from it to add instances.

Click and drag the first handle to reposition the entire pattern as a group. Once created, you will find that clicking any of the pattern entities selects all of the instances and additional handles become available.
