How to edit a multiline

Command: MLEDIT

It will open following dialog box:

Multiline edit tools
To delete a Add/ Vertex from multiline:
  • Select Add/ delete vertex option from edit tools. click at the point where you need to add vertex/ click on vertex which you have to delete.
To create Intersection.

    In creating instersection we have options to create:
  • Closed cross
  • Closed Tee
  • Corner joint
  • Open cross
  • Open Tee   
  • Merged cross
  • Merged Tee.
In all of the above option we need to select two multilines in following order:
  1. Select a multiline which you have to trim.
  2. Select a multiline which you have to retain.
Lets consider an example of following tutorial:

In this tutorial you have to make a path so that a person travelling in Multiline will have no obstruction whereas, there will be obstruction for path 2. i.e you have to create a closed cross in which multiline 1 will be open and multiline 2 will be trimmed from between.


 
Steps to followed:

  1. Command: MLEDIT
  2. Select closed cross from edit tools.
  3. First click of multiline 2 which needs to be trimmed to make passage for multiline 1.
  4. Then click on multiline 1 which defines trimming boundary for multiline 2.
Use of comman commands on multiline:
    You can use most of editing commands on multiline. But you can never use following commands on multilines:
  • Break
  • Chamfer
  • Fillet
  • Offset
  • Lengthen
If you wish to use following commands on multilines, then you have to explode multilines into single objects.

Co-ordinate systems

Hello Friends,             This is my first blog on AutoCAD tutorials. I won’t waste time on overview of AutoCAD and its uses which everyone knows. I will start directly with Co-ordinate systems of AutoCAD.             Co-ordinates systems are not of more use left in recent versions but still knowledge of co-ordinate systems is important as this keeps your mind sharp.  ABOUT CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM:     If you want to make any object in autocad you have two options.  1. you can directly click at any know point or  2. you can specify co ordinates of the point in command box. CARTESIAN AND POLAR CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM: Cartesian co ordinate system works only on linear distance. it have 3 axis X,Y,Z. when u specify any point with (+ or -) sign it prompts autocad to move along positive axis or negative axis at a specified distance. while working in 2D drafting, ...

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 ...
