So mentioning that those same capabilities are available in the Civil 3D software that is probably already being used by the engineering firm might be good for the readers to know.
Xline autocad plus#
AutoCAD Civil 3D, which is a very popular software for engineering firms, is built upon that same AutoCAD base plus the Map 3D. This comes naturally with a better understanding of AutoDesk software. In regards to the second quote, I agree with almost completely, I would just add some additional information to it.
In fact Autodesk now offers AutoCAD with specialized toolsets (one of them is Map 3D.) It is fully capable CAD software with the additions of (some) GIS capabilities. It isn’t limited in its CAD capabilities.
“Altogether, AutoCAD Map 3D is definitely worth learning, especially working in an engineering firm.”ĪutoCAD Map 3D is a CAD software built upon the base of AutoCAD. But it doesn’t specialize in either one of the two.” “All things considered, AutoCAD Map 3D does a bit of both GIS and CAD. There are two quotes that demonstrate that misunderstanding. Turn on or off the snap mode.Great article, AutoCAD Map 3D is a wonderful piece of software! I would point out that the author has some misunderstanding on the Autodesk side. Turn on or off the ortho function to constrain the cross hairs in the vertical and horizontal axes. Use (Options: Drawing Aids) from pull down menu to define grid spacing Turn off or on coordinate tracking (located in the bottom left corner of the status bar Switch between the left, right, and top isoplanes when drawing in isometric Use ( Options: Running Object Snap ) from pull down menu to set snap modes Get help on most any topic by keyword search The spacing between points of the snap grid.Īn AutoCAD drafting option that aligns the cursor with two of three isometric axes and displays grid points, making isometric drawings easier to create.įunction keys are shortcut keys that perform a certain function and/or toggle the state of a certain command (from on to off or vice versa) Snap grid does not necessarily correspond to the visible grid, which is controlled separately by GRID. The invisible grid that locks the pointer into alignment with the grid points according to the spacing set by Snap. The snap resolution defines the spacing of this grid. When Snap mode is on, (F9) screen crosshairs and all input coordinates are snapped to the nearest point on the grid. (GRID)īoth the GRID and SNAP functions are available in the Drawing Aids option SNAP (F9)Ī mode for locking a pointing device into alignment with an invisible rectangular grid. The spacing between grid dots is adjustable. Use the pop-up Object Snap mode to select different settings for different actions.Īn area on the graphics display covered with regularly spaced dots to aid drawing. POP-UP OBJECT SNAP ( SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK with mouse ) Quick must be used in conjunction with other object snap modes. The alignment path is calculated from the current "from point" of the command. When you move the cursor over the endpoint of an object, the endpoint is marked and the cursor snaps to the parallel alignment path to that object. Snaps to an extension in parallel with an object. Snaps to the nearest point on an arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, line, mline, point, polyline, spline, or xline. Snaps to the tangent of an arc, circle, ellipse, or elliptical arc. Snaps to a point perpendicular to an arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, line, mline, polyline, ray, solid, spline, or xline. Snaps to the insertion point of an attribute, a block, a shape, or text. Snaps to a quadrant point of an arc, circle, ellipse, or elliptical arc. Snaps to the center of an arc, circle, ellipse, or elliptical arc. NOTE You may get varying results if you have both Intersection and Apparent Intersection on at the same time. Snaps to the intersection of an arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, line, mline, polyline, ray, spline, or xline. Snaps to the midpoint of an arc, ellipse, elliptical arc, line, mline, polyline segment, solid, spline, or xline. Snaps to the closest endpoint of an arc, elliptical arc, line, mline, polyline segment, or ray or to the closest corner of a trace, solid, or 3D face. If you enter more than one name, separate the names with commas. Specify one or more object snap modes by entering the first three characters of the name. See also Object Snap modes and object snap override. Sets an Object Snap mode so it continues for subsequent selections.
