In the example, it is a circle. It can be selected using the option . The
selected element will be highlighted in the drawing.
When working with drawings crowded with elements of the same type, one
can miss the selection. The option helps selecting a neighboring
element in such a case. It cancels the last element selection and highlights
the element of the same type nearest to the previous.
Next, you need to select the target element of the same type for
replacement.
When selecting such element, only the elements of the same type as the
source element will be pre-highlighted in the drawing. The only option
available in the automenu will be the option for selecting elements of the
respective type.
In this example, select the “Circle 2”.
Upon selecting the source and the target construction element, confirm the
element replacement using the option:
Replace Element
In the course of the replacement, all the elements constructed relative to the
source element are rearranged with respect to the target one. In this
example, it was the hatch.
If necessary, the source construction element can be deleted from the model
upon the replacement. The mode of deleting the source element is turned on
by the icon .
In the following example, the construction began with creating a vertical
line – “Line 1”. All later constructions were done relative to this line. The
“Line 2” was constructed as parallel to the first one, and the “Line 3” -
orthogonal, through the “Node 1”. A tangency circle and the “Line 4” were
later constructed relative to the two latter lines.
Let's replace the base line “Line 1” by a new line “Line 5”.
Upon the replacement, all construction elements that were defined relative to the “Line 1” are rebuilt relative
to the “Line 5”.
