o Positive Fraction value- If a positive value is entered the placement of the snap point will be in the same direction as the second click point away from the first. (i.e. going forward) o Negative Fraction value- If a negative value is entered the placement of the snap point will be in the opposite direction of the second click from the first click. (i.e. going backwards) HOW TO USE- Draw a square 100mm x 100mm (4” x 4”). Next, select a Circle Centre Diameter and choose Fraction as the Snap Mode. Enter 0.5 as the fraction value and click OK. You will then have to click two times to determine the distance to calculate, click the top left and bottom right of the square and then enter the diameter of the circle. The circle will be entered directly in the middle of the square. SHORTCUT KEY: N ALONG- Obtains a point at a specified distance from the end of a line nearest to the cursor click. When this Snap Mode is selected the Evaluator will appear asking for a distance. Entering a negative value will create the snap point off of the selected line. HOW TO USE- Draw a line 100mm (4”) long. Draw a line again selecting Along as the Snap Mode for the ‘First Point’, enter 25mm (1”) as the Distance and click OK. Next, select a point on either side of the first line that was drawn. You will now see that the ‘First Point’ of the line is starting at 25mm (1”) from the nearest edge where you clicked with the cursor. SHORTCUT KEY: L CAD AREA- Not an actual Snap Mode. When this is selected this means that no Snap Modes have been selected. 3.2 Using Construction Lines (Construct) Construction lines can be created using any CAD drawing function. When creating Construction lines the lines are created within a different layer specified for construction layer. The CAD construction layer can be hidden, locked or deleted like any other. To activate the ability to add a Construction line you must check the ‘Construct’ box under the snap modes menu. Once activated the Construction lines can then be drawn. Construction lines are primarily used to define a point within a 24
part. Although there are many different types of snap modes Construction lines can still be useful. 3.3 Close CAD Functions (Hide) By clicking on the Hide button underneath the snap modes menu the CAD toolbars will be closed/hidden. 25
