3.1.1.1 Selection Allow single and rectangular selection. The icon displayed to the left shows the ‘Allow Selection’ icon to be de-activated and to the right is active. Once de-activated the ability to select geometry or tooling is disabled. Activate polygon selection. Use mouse to connect lines around a feature or features to be selected. Hit Esc key to allow anything within box to be selected. Lock and unlock geometry. Once locked, geometry is unable to be selected. Once unlocked, all geometry is allowed selection. Lock and unlock selected geometry (allows selected geometry to not be moved when locked) 3.1.1.2 Snap Modes Once the ‘Allow Selection’ button is understood the next important section of the CAD to understand is the snap functions. The snap functions have been designed to try and avoid accidental Snapping to incorrect points. In the Drawing area, box around tip of cursor arrow, the cursor will only find either end points of lines or real intersections. It will only allow free points where these are expressly requested or where the function makes it sensible to use them, e.g. Zoom. For any function you can either use a point in the Drawing area or you can use the snap menu to derive an additional point, which may or may not be real. The following will describe the snap functions within the CAD system. Located on the right side of the screen when CAD is activated is the snap toolbar (shown below). Within the toolbar are functions to help determine the best application of CAD within a part file. On the next page the snap function toolbar is shown along with a table of descriptions for all of the functions. Along side each snap function a shortcut key is listed within parenthesis. 20
Snap Function Description Current (keyboard shortcut key- U) Last point drawn, usually end of line or arc. Value is shown in the status bar after completing a draw command Free Point (F) Allows selection anywhere in the drawing area End Point (E) Snap to the end point closest to the side the cursor selected Intersection (I) Use the intersection of two points as snap location or if two entities don’t exist the location of the two clicks will determine the intersection automatically Centre (C) Snap to the center of an arc or circle Absolute (A) Snap to X and Y value in reference to the 0,0 origin point Relative (R) Snap to X and Y value in accordance to the current point Indirect (D) Coordinates relative to a point in the drawing area. A window will pop up asking for X and Y location. A point will be asked for by clicking anywhere in the drawing area. (Snap functions not used after enter X and Y values) Tangent (T) Draw tangent to an arc or circle from the current point Middle (M) Mid point of an arc or line Horizontal (H) Draw a line horizontal to an arc or line from the current point extended to nearest element Vertical (V) Draw a line vertical to an arc or line from the current point extended to nearest element Perp. (Perpendicular) (P) Draw a line perpendicular to an arc or line from the current point extended to nearest element Angle (G) Draw a line at a designated angle from current point extended to nearest element or snap point 21
