option will be used in all newly opened documents until the end of the application session. To
change the setting, close and reopen the application.
Paths
If the dialog box does not pop up upon while in the command being described, and some action is
performed instead, then a default action was already assigned earlier in the session within this command
or in “H: Create Hatch”.
2D Path Parameters
2D path parameters can be defined either at the path creation or during its editing. The 2D path parameters
dialog box is called by the option
Set path parameters
Number of Point for Circle Approximation. This parameter
defines the accuracy of drawings of circles and circular arcs that
are components of 2D paths.
Level. Places the path being created on a certain visibility level used
for hiding some elements from display as necessary.
Layer. This parameter assigns the path being created to a certain
layer.
Color. This parameter defines the color used for the path display.
Set as default. Turning on this flag means the current dialog parameter settings will be used in future for
constructing new construction lines.
Editing 2D Paths
By editing a path, one can add or delete nodes, select a different construction line to connect the end nodes of
a particular path segment, as well as define new parameters.
Editing is done in the command “EC: Edit Construction”.
Keyboard Textual Menu Icon
“Edit|Construction|Path”
A path can be selected by pointing the cursor and clicking , or by the option:
Select Spline
As a result, the selected path gets highlighted, and its nodes marked.
Editing the Type of a Particular Path Segment
To modify the type of a particular path segment, do the following steps:
• Select a path;
• Using the mouse, select the path segment whose type needs to be modified;
• Select a construction entity defining the new type of the path segment: line, circle, ellipse and spline
(including other 2D paths). Selection of a construction entity is done using the appropriate option. The
end nodes of the path segment being edited must belong to the selected construction entities;
