About Drawing Tools

  • UCS. The user Coordinates System (UCS) is set up to be positioned and oriented anywhere in 3D space. After the UCS is implemented, the previous 2D drawing is now done in the X-Y plane of the new UCS. The user is now able to easily draw anywhere in space, and also aids when drawing in 2D.
  • Snap. Sets up a grid that is both invisible and orthogonal, square or rectangular, which all points entered with the mouse may be locked onto.
  • Grid. This command sets up a visible grid of white dots that is used for referencing purposes.
  • Axis. Similar to the Grid command, except the white dots are replaced with two intersecting axes with tick marks.
  • Ortho. When turned on, Ortho mode makes all lines drawn with the mouse parallel to the axes.
  • Osnap. In Osnap’s “Running Mode”, it allows points to be precisely located on reference points of existing objects. They may be overridden by selecting different object snap modes for a specific entry.
