Description

The Edit tool allows you to edit graphically certain properties of the selected object, such as the vertices of a Draft Wire, the length and width of a Draft Rectangle, or the radius of a Draft Circle.

It does nothing more than enter the object's edit mode. Another way to edit the object is by double clicking on the element in the tree view.

Editing a wire

How to use

  1. Select an object.
  2. Press the Draft Edit button, or double-click the object in the tree view, or use the Std Edit tool.
  3. Click on a point that you wish to move.
  4. Click another point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate and press the add point button.
  5. Press Esc or the Close button to complete the current command.

The Edit tool only works on one selected object at a time.

The tool mostly works on Draft objects: [[Draft Wire|Draft Wires]s, Draft Lines, Draft Rectangles, Draft Circles, Draft Arcs, Draft Polygons, and Draft BSplines. Other object types must first be converted to these objects.

Options

  • Press X, Y or Z after a point to constrain the next point on the given axis.
  • To enter coordinates manually, simply enter the numbers, then press Enter between each X, Y and Z component. You can press the add point button when you have the desired values to insert the point.
  • Hold Ctrl while drawing to force snapping your point to the nearest snap location, independently of the distance.
  • Hold Shift while drawing to constrain your next point horizontally or vertically in relation to the last one.
  • Press Esc or the Close button or the Draft Edit button again to finish editing.

Some objects allow you to insert or delete points:

  • Press the add point button, and then click on the wire or spline to add a new point.
  • Press the remove point button, and then click on a point along the wire or spline to remove it.

Scripting

There is no programming interface available for the Edit tool. Each object is modified by changing its attributes directly.
