Draw 2D lines
- [Instructor] In this exercise, we will learn how to create basic elements such as lines, blocks, circles and darks using AccuDraw. Open the file for Chapter Three, Basic 2D Commands dot DGN and using view groups, select the lines model. So let's take a look at how we can draw a simple line using AccuDraw. Using the task navigation dialogue, I will select the line command. First, I will start the line by issuing a left-click anywhere in the view window and drag the cursor in the X direction. Notice how the focus of AccuDraw is in the X-axis field. If I drag the cursor in the Y direction, notice how the focus of AccuDraw moves to the Y-axis field. This change in focus happens automatically because AccuDraw is following your cursor movement. And predicting what you are trying to draw. When you are lined up with either the X or the Y axis, you should notice this heavier drag line which indicates that you are actually on a zero or 90 degree axis. If I drag the cursor in the negative X…
