CONSTRUCTION LINES
Construction lines and Geometry lines are used to define the layout, position lines and arcs tangential to each other, and allow you to define the basic layout of drawing elements. Thereafter, you simply fill in with solid lines to create the objects you need.
Geometry or construction entities allow for the precise layout of complex shapes. An outline from composite construction entities can be created with a couple of clicks and existing entities converted to geometry entities. The geometry menu offers unrestricted versatility.
Construction lines, arcs, circles, parallel lines and circles can be drawn and a perpendicular bisector between two points or through a point parallel to an existing element can be included.
Complex shapes can also be drawn in conjunction with the Draw - Fill Geometry Functions.
