How to Modify Polylines

To Modify Polylines:
  1. Select polyline to edit so that, it can view grip points of polyline.
  2. Select Grip point you want to edit, and strech that point.
To Add/Remove vertex in polyline.
  1. Select a polyline in which you haveto add vertex so that,it can view grip points of polyline.
  2. Keep your cursor on the vertex point untill a drop list is shown.
  3. Select add/ Remove vertex option.
To convert a line segment to Arc segment.
  1. Select polyline to edit so that, it can view grip points of polyline.
  2. Keep cursor on the grip point untill it shows drop down list.
  3. Select convert to arc from drop down list.
  4. Specify a midpoint for the arc.
To convert arc segment to line segment.
  1. Select polyline to edit so that, it can view grip points of polyline.
  2. Keep cursor on the grip point untill it shows drop down list.
  3. Select convert to line from drop down list.
To Change poly line width
  1. Click Home tabModify panelEdit Polyline.  Find
  2. Select the polyline to modify.
  3. Enter w (Width) to specify a new uniform width for the entire polyline.
  4. Enter the width for all segments.

                                                    OR

Command: PEDIT

Select polyline or [Multiple]: //select your poly line

Enter an option [Close/Join/Width/Edit vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Reverse/Undo]: W //This prompts autocad to change the width of polyline by user defined value.

Specify new width for all segments: 10 (Enter) // press Esc to leave polyline.

To change width of individual segment
  1. Click Home tabModify panelEdit Polyline.  Find
  2. Select the polyline to modify.
  3. Enter e (Edit Vertex).

    The first vertex is marked with an X. Move to the appropriate vertex with Next or Previous.

  4. Enter w (Width).
  5. Enter the starting and ending widths.
                                                    OR

Command: PEDIT
Select polyline or [Multiple]: //select your polyline

Enter an option [Close/Join/Width/Edit vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Reverse/Undo]: e //This will prompt AutoCAD to edit vertx of poly line.

Enter a vertex editing option
[Next/Previous/Break/Insert/Move/Regen/Straighten/Tangent/Width/eXit] <N>: w //This will prompt AutoCAD to change width of polyline as per user defined value.

Specify starting width for next segment <0.0000>: 10

Specify ending width for next segment <10.0000>: 10

Enter a vertex editing option
[Next/Previous/Break/Insert/Move/Regen/Straighten/Tangent/Width/eXit] <N>:  //Press ESC to exit the command.

To convert it to spline fit polyline:

  1. Select the polyline to display its grips.
  2. Right-click and select Polyline  Spline Fit.
                                                          OR
Command: PEDIT

Select polyline or [Multiple]: //select your polyline
Enter an option [Close/Join/Width/Edit vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Reverse/Undo]: s //This will prompt AutoCAD to change polyline to spline fit polyline.

Enter an option [Close/Join/Width/Edit vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Reverse/Undo]: //Press Esc to exit the command

To convert to Curve fit polyline:

  1. Select the polyline to display its grips.
  2. Right-click and select Polyline  Curve Fit.
                                                            OR
Command: PEDIT
Select polyline or [Multiple]: //select your polyline
Enter an option [Close/Join/Width/Edit vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Reverse/Undo]: f //This will prompt AutoCAD to change polyline to Curve fit polyline.

Enter an option [Close/Join/Width/Edit vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Reverse/Undo]: /Press Esc to exit the command

To remove the curve from spline fit or curve fit poly line:

  1. Select the polyline to display its grips.
  2. Right-click and select Polyline  Decurve.

Command: PEDIT
Select polyline or [Multiple]:  //select your polyline

Enter an option [Close/Join/Width/Edit vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Reverse/Undo]: d //This will prompt AutoCAD to decurve the line

Enter an option [Close/Join/Width/Edit vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Reverse/Undo]: //Press Esc to exit the command

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, ...

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...
