Helix Command

Command: HELIX


The following prompts are displayed.

Center point of base
Sets the center of the helix base point.
Base radius
Specifies the radius of the base of the helix.

Initially, the default base radius is set to 1. During a drawing session, the default value for the base radius is always the previously entered base radius value for any solid primitive or helix.

Diameter (base)
Specifies the diameter of the base of the helix.

Initially, the default base diameter is set to 2. During a drawing session, the default value for the base diameter is always the previously entered base diameter value.

Top radius
Specifies the radius of the top of the helix. the default value is always the value for the base radius.

The base radius and the top radius cannot both be set to 0 (zero).

Diameter (top)
Uses a diameter value to set the size of the helix top. The default value for the top diameter is always the value of the base diameter.
Helix height
Sets the height of the helix.
Axis endpoint
Specifies the endpoint location for the helix axis. The axis endpoint can be located anywhere in 3D space. The axis endpoint defines the length and orientation of the helix.
Turns
Specifies the number of turns (revolutions) for the helix. The number of turns for a helix cannot exceed 500.

Initially, the default value for the number of turns is three. During a drawing session, the default value for the number of turns is always the previously entered number of turns value.

Turn height
Specifies the height of one complete turn within the helix.

The number of turns in the helix will automatically update accordingly when a turn height value is specified. If the number of turns for the helix has been specified, you cannot enter a value for the turn height.

Twist
Specifies the direction in which the helix is twisted.
  • CW. Draws the helix in a clockwise direction.
  • CCW. Draws the helix in a counterclockwise direction.

From command

From:  fro (enter) From command is used to draw a line or any objects base point at a specific distance from a particular reference point. (Video link attached at the end of commands)   Command: L LINE Specify first point: fro Base point: Click at corner A <Offset>: 5 Specify next point or [Undo]: fro Base point: Click at corner B  <Offset>: 50 Specify next point or [Undo]: ESC click here to see how to use from command.

Boundary Command

BOUNDARY (COMMAND) Boundary command creates region or polylines from the closed areas.  There two methods to work with boundary option  Boundary creation dialog box "-Boundary" Command. 1. BOUNDARY CREATION DIALOG BOX. Command: BOUNDARY // Following dialog box will open. Pick Points Determines a boundary from existing objects that form an enclosed  area around the specified point. Island Detection Controls whether the BOUNDARY command detects all internal  closed boundaries, called islands, in addition to the objects enclosing the pick point. Object Type Controls the type of the new boundary object. BOUNDARY creates the boundary as a region or a polyline object. Boundary Set Defines the set of objects BOUNDARY analyzes when defining a boundary from a specified point. Current Viewport Defines the boundary set from everything in the current viewport extents. Selecting this option discards any current boundary set. New Prompts you to select the objects that define the b...

poly line command

PolyLine Command: Command: PL PLINE Prompts common to Line and Arc segments: Close:  Connects first and last segments to create a closed poly line. Half width:  Specifies width from the center of wide segment to an edge. Width:  Specifies width of next segment. Points to remember while working with width and half width: The starting width becomes the ending default width. The ending width becomes constant for remaining segments untill you change the width again. The starting and ending points of wide line segments are the center line of segment. Typically, the intersections of adjacent wide polyline segments are beveled. No bevelling is performed for non tangent arc segments, very acute angles, or when a dot dash line types are used. Undo:  Removes most recently created segment. Prompts only for line segment: Arc:   Begins creating arc segments tangent to previous segment.  Length:  Create a line segment of a specified length at same angles as that of ...
