Projecting solid lines and arcs to
geometry lines and circles
The Make Geometry
function duplicates solid lines and arcs as geometry
lines and arcs. This is useful for projecting lines
into another part of the drawing, or for finding the
intersection point between projected lines and arcs.
Deleting geometry
and switching it on and off
When you no longer need your geometry, you can switch
it off using Show Geometry in
View Settings
in the
Settings Menu
or Switch Geometry On/Off.
You can also delete
it permanently using the following functions:
Geometry Menu ›
Delete Geometry El
deletes a single
geometry line or circle.
Geometry Menu ›
Delete All Geometry
deletes all your
geometry.
Geometry deletion is
permanent. The
Undo
function will
not
restore a deleted
geometry element.
Jumping and snapping to geometry
lines, arcs and intersections
The following Jumps
will jump to geometry entities:
Geom Intersections
Jump Any Intersection
Jump Near Element
The following Snap Modes will snap to geometry entities:
Grab All
Geom Intersection
Intersection
Nearest Line/Arc
Saving geometry
Geometry is not
automatically stored when you save a drawing.
If you want your
geometry to be automatically stored when you save a
drawing, you must use the
File Menu > Save
Options >
Save Settings
option to check the
Save Geometry
box before
you save your drawing.
If the
Save Geometry
box is checked, your geometry will be saved in a file
with the same name as your drawing, but with a
.geo
instead of a
.drg
extension. It will
be saved each time you save the drawing.
Alternatively, you
can save geometry using the
File Menu
> Save Options >
Save Geometry
option. Saved geometry can be loaded into a drawing
using the File Menu >
Load >
Load Geom
option.
Changing
geometry color
You cannot change
the color of existing geometry. To change the color
of subsequently entered geometry, use New Geometry
Color.
