Roughness Symbols
The roughness can be instantly placed in the absolute coordinates at the pointer position by clicking . An
exact value of coordinates can be defined in the command's properties window (the section “Coordinates”).
The way of attaching the created roughness is determined by the status of the option . This option
contains a drop down list with the following choices:
Roughness without leader jog
Roughness with leader jog
Attach to the sign point
To attach a roughness symbol to a construction or graphic line (ellipse, spline, path or function), use the
respective option (, ). The graphic pointer must be over the desired line when using the option.
The intended construction entity must have at least one node on it. In this way, the roughness being created is
attached to the entity and the nearest node on this construction entity. A leader line will be created by default
from the node to the roughness symbol (you can cancel the leader line creation in the command's properties
window).
L
With the object snapping engaged, to select an attachment element you just need to move the pointer over the
desired element. As the element pre-highlights and the pointer changes its shape, indicating snapping to the
element, click . In complicated configurations, you can use the element selection options for precise
element selection.
Upon selecting the construction or graphic entity (ellipse, spline, path or function), a roughness symbol starts
rubberbanding with the pointer. To complete the creation, point the mouse to the desired position of the
roughness symbol (the distance from the node to which the roughness being created is attached) and click .
A precise position of the roughness on a construction or graphic line can be defined in the command's
properties window.
For attaching to a node, select the desired node by pressing the key .
N
When selecting a node, the roughness can be created in two modes: with an offset from the node and without
an offset. By default, the mode of snapping to the node without an offset is used. This is indicated by the
enabled option in the command automenu. In this case, you just need to point at a node and click . To
set the mode of snapping to a node with an offset, disable the option . In this case, after selecting the
snap node you will need to specify an offset relative to the node for the roughness. This can be done by in
the drawing window or by entering the exact offset value in the command's properties window.
A roughness symbol can be attached to a circle (the option ).
