The Other Wonders of LEN

this week's [tip of the week] is brought to you by:

The Very Best of - Hall and Oates

With hits that include:

Kiss On My List
Maneater
Sara Smile
You Make My Dreams

From their first hit in 1974 through their heyday in the '80s, Daryl Hall and John Oates' smooth, catchy take on Philly soul brought them enormous commercial success -- including six number one singles and six platinum albums -- yet little critical success. Hall Oates' music was remarkably well-constructed and produced; at their best, their songs were filled with strong hooks and melodies that adhered to soul traditions without being a slave to them by incorporating elements of new wave and hard rock.

this weeks tip is:

the [LEN] command.

to follow up with last week’s “10 sec T.O.W.” , and if you didn’t find them for yourself, there are many options after typing the [LEN] that allow you to modify a diagonal line.

After typing [LEN] and selecting the line, you can type [DE] for the DELTA command.

As we all know, DELTA means “change in”, there for if you would like to change your line in increments, simply type the distance you would like it to “change in”.

Another option under the [LEN] command is the Total command. If you have a line that you would like at a certain and specific distance, simply type [T], and then the total amount you would like your line. Select the line and it should magically appear at your desired specified distance.

That's So DYnamic!

this weeks tip is the:

the [DYnamic] command.

if you're like me, every once in a while you will have draw a line at some odd angle. chances are also in your favor that you will have to modify that angled line at some point. this week's tip will help you modify that line.

start with an angled line.

then type [LEN] for the lengthen command.

in your command box you will have several options, but for this week, let's just focus on the [DYnamic] command. (don't check any of the other options out, i need to reserve them for later T.O.W.'s)

type [DY] for dynamic.

you will then be instructed to select the object. after selecting the line you will be able to lengthen it to what ever distance you want using your cursor.

this weeks tip is:

Cycling.

if you're like me, every once in a while you will have overlapping objects in CAD, and it never seems to fail that CAD doesn't select the object that you want selected. this is when you use [cycling].

with your cursor, simply pan over the object with your cross hairs. when you get to the point of intersection, hold down the [shift] key. then cycle through the objects by hitting the [space bar]. the objects should become highlighted as you cycle through them. when the object you want selected is highlighted, simply let go of the shift key, and select it with you mouse.
