Editing functions

  • The Edit commands are utilized in CAD to create new topographic points or edit the drawing.


  • To access the Drawing commands open CAD.

  • Select Edit to open the toolbar.

  • Available commands are:

    • Delete: deletes CAD objects.

    • Offset: creates an object parallel to reference object at a defined distance.

    • Distance intersection: calculates the position of a new topographic point located at a certain distance from two reference points.

    • Intersection by 4 points: calculates the position of a topographic point that is on the intersection of two straight lines.

    • Distance and offset: calculates the position of a new topographic point referring to a reference object.

    • Lengthen: extends an object like a line, a polyline or an arc to a defined length. Or extend a line defined by two points which also indicates the direction where to create the point.

    • Explode: transforms selected polylines such as lines and circles into the base elements composing it.

    • Invert: reverses the vertex order of a drawing element.

    • Join: merges several entities so that they have one point in common. Example: Multiple lines that must be managed as a single polyline.

    • Edit polyline: allows to edit a polyline, for example inserting new vertexes, deleting a segment, inverting the polyline, etc.

    • Object properties: accesses the management of the graphical properties of the selected objects such as layer, colour and linetype.

    image-20260623-085907.png

  • Select OK to save the point.

Lengthen

  • Lengthen extends an object like a line, a polyline or an arc to a defined length. Or extend a line defined by two points which also indicates the direction where to create the point.

  • From the Edit toolbar select Lengthen.

  • Enter the distance by which to lengthen an object.

  • Select in CAD the object to extend or select the first point.

  • If first point and not an object has been selected, select the second point.

  • The software shows a preview of the result. Press OK to save the changes.
