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 previous segment. If the previous segment is an arc, the new line segment will  be tangent to arc segment.

Prompts only for Arc segment:

Endpoint of Arc: Completes an arc segment. The arc segment is always tangent to previous segment of polyline.

Angle: Specifies the included angle of the arc segment from the start point. Entering a positive number creates counter clock wise arc segments. Entering a negative number creates clockwise arc segments.

Center: Specifies an arc segment based on its center point.

Note: For the Center option of the PLINE command, enter ce; for
the Center object snap, enter cen or center.
Direction: Specifies the tangent for the arc segment.

Line: Switches from drawing arc segments to drawing straight segments.

Radius: Specifies the radius of the arc segment.

Second pt: Specifies the second point and endpoint of a three-point arc.

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...
