Axiom — Using AccuDraw to Modify Elements

Using AccuDraw to Modify Elements

AccuDraw can be a great time saver in modifying certain types of elements quickly and with precision. For instance if you have a line selected, with AccuDraw active, just click on one of the handles, type in a length value and Presto!; you have a line that exact length. Have you ever wanted to change the vertices of a linestring from sharp to rounded. With AccuDraw active select the modify element tool and data point on a vertex. Notice the tool settings box displays the vertex type button and the rounding radius field. To change between sharp, rounded and chamfered just hit the key with the tilde (~) on it and AccuDraw “bumps” the value between the three. Set the rounding radius or chamfer offset and data point. You’re done.
