Modifying commands overview
Icon | Command | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() |
3DARRAY | Creates multiple copies of entities in three dimensions. Entities are arrayed in a three-dimensional rectangular (rows, columns and levels) pattern or a two-dimensional polar (circular) pattern in three-dimensional space. |
![]() |
ALIGN | Aligns selected entities with other entities in three-dimensional space. |
![]() |
ARRAY | Creates 2D and 3D arrays of entities in rectangular or polar patterns, or along a path. |
ARRAYCLASSIC | Creates multiple copies of entities in one of two symmetrical patterns: rectangular (rows and columns) or polar (circular). | |
![]() |
ARRAYPATH | Associatively distributes entity copies evenly along a path into multiple rows, and levels. |
|
ARRAYPOLAR | Associatively distributes entity copies evenly in a circular pattern about a center point or axis of rotation, using multiple rows, and levels. |
![]() |
ARRAYRECT | Associatively distributes copies of entities into any number of rows, columns, and levels. |
![]() |
BREAK | Splits an entity into two entities. |
![]() |
CHAMFER | Creates chamfers at intersections of linear entities, defined by two lengths, or a length and an angle. |
![]() |
CHANGE | Changes the properties of entities, through the Command line. This command has largely been superseded by the Properties panel. |
![]() |
COPY | Draws duplicates of the selected entities. |
![]() |
COPYGUIDED | After selecting the entities, their relation to their reference curves will automatically guide you to inserting the copy in similar locations. |
![]() |
DIVIDE | Places markers (points or blocks) along a selected entity. The markers evenly divide the entity into the specified number of equal parts. |
![]() |
EXPLODE | Reduces complex entities to simpler ones, such as blocks into constituent parts, or polylines into lines and arcs. |
![]() |
EXTEND | Lengthens lines, arcs, polylines or rays to meet another entity. |
![]() |
FILLET | Fillets intersections; joins intersecting lines with an arc of any suitable radius. |
![]() |
FLATTEN | Projects 2D and 3D entities onto the XY-plane of the current view. |
![]() |
HATCHEDIT | Edits hatches and gradient fills in a dialog box. |
![]() |
JOIN | Joins lines, lightweight and old-style 2D polylines, 3D polylines, arcs, elliptical arcs, polyarcs, splines, and helices at their common endpoints. |
![]() |
LENGTHEN | Changes the length of a line, polyline, freehand entity or arc. |
![]() |
MANIPULATE | Launches the Manipulator widget; rotates, moves, mirrors and scales entities. Keep the Ctrl key pressed while starting an action to manipulate a copy of the selected entities. |
![]() |
MEASURE | Divides a selected entity into segments by placing markers (points or blocks) at specified intervals along its length or circumference. |
![]() |
MIRROR | Moves or copies the reflected image of selected entities about a line. |
![]() |
MIRROR3D | Moves or copies the reflected image of entities about a plane. |
![]() |
MOVE | Moves entities to another location in the same drawing. |
![]() |
MOVEGUIDED | After selecting the entities, their relation to their reference curves will automatically guide you to moving the entities in a similar location. |
![]() |
OFFSET | Creates a parallel or offset copy of linear entities. |
OVERKILL | Deletes duplicate entities and overlapping lines, arcs, and
polylines, and unifies partly overlapping or contiguous ones; optionally
moves duplicates to a dedicated layer. Combines duplicate blocks; optionally purges duplicate block definitions. |
|
![]() |
PEDIT | Edits a two-dimensional or three-dimensional polyline, or a polygon mesh. |
![]() |
PROPERTIES | Opens the BricsCAD Properties panel. |
![]() |
ROTATE | Rotates entities around a specified point. |
![]() |
ROTATE3D | Rotates entities around an axis. |
![]() |
SCALE | Changes the scale of existing entities, either enlarging them or reducing them proportionately in X, Y, and Z directions. |
SIMPLIFY | Reduces the number of vertices of polylines and hatch boundaries without changing their general shape. Simplified entities are easier to manipulate and can significantly reduce file size. | |
![]() |
SPLINEDIT | Edits a two-dimensional or three-dimensional spline. |
![]() |
STRETCH | Moves a portion of a drawing while retaining connections to other parts of the drawing. |
![]() |
TRIM | Erases the portions of selected entities that cross a specified boundary. |
