Chapter 6: Drawing

Connecting Drawing Elements

Drawing elements can be connected together by dragging the endpoint of one drawing element onto the

endpoint of another active element. Both elements must be active (white lines) in order to connect the drawing

elements together (Figure 6�3�1). When an endpoint is over another during a drag, highlights will appear to

indicate that a connection will take place if the vertex is dropped there (Figure 6�3�2). Connected drawing

elements will behave like a single drawing element (Figure 6�3�3 & Figure 6�3�4).

Figure 6�3� Connecting Drawing Elements Illustration

Dimensions

When any drawing element is active, Blue numbers will appear indicating the dimensions of the object (radii of

arcs, lengths of lines). With line segments, green numbers will appear next to a green arc indicating the angle of

the line segment or the angle between two line segments.

Figure 6�4� Dimension Example

If a single drawing element is active on the board its dimensions can be changed through the “Input Tool Bar”.

The input boxes in this tool bar will change depending on the type of drawing element that is active. When more

than one element is active, it is not possible to enter values through “Input Tool Bar”.

To change a dimension, left click the dimension to open a pop-up box, enter the desired value and press

enter. If the dimension is left clicked by accident press “Escape” to close the pop-up without entering a value.

Dimension can also be changed through the context menu, by right clinking and selecting “Edit Dimension”.

Once a dimension has been set it will turn yellow and become locked or xed. The dimension will remain xed

until a new value has been entered or it is unlocked. To unlock a dimension, left click on it and select ‘Remove

Constraint’ from the context menu.
