PE(PEdit), short for “polyline edit”, allows you to edit polylines, 3D polylines, and 3D meshes, with even more options. You can use it to move along an axis or to rotate. You might have already read about the Manipulator, but did you know it can also be used on segments of a polyline? Simply select the segment(s) that you need and then enter MANIPULATE into the command line. All you need to do is type in the new distance and BricsCAD resizes the rectangle. A box with the distance between the two sides is displayed. Click to select and repeat for the opposite side. Here you can change aspects such as their size and color.Įver wished you could just resize a rectangle to an exact dimension without redrawing it? The good news is that with Nearest Distance you can! Hover over one side and hold Ctrl. Enter the Settings- Drafting-Display/Viewing-Grips section. (Dragging the midpoint grips will change the bulge of the polyline.) Simply click and drag the marker to manipulate the polyline. Squares indicate the vertices and triangles the midpoint. The polyline will display as a dotted line and small markers or “grips” will appear. Stretch Vertex Change the position of the current vertex.īricsCAD also has another intuitive way to edit polylines: Grips! Begin by selecting the polyline you want to edit.Add Vertex Add a new point to the line within the current section.Remove Segment Delete the current segment.Stretch segment Keep the currently selected segment the same and manipulate the two connecting sections.Adjust Bulge convert a straight line to a curve OR change the curve of the selected arc.The Quad doesn’t only display editing commands, all of the dimension and 2D constraint tools are also available in the Quad. All polyline editing commands will be displayed right where you need them: under your cursor. Then simply hover over the segment that you wish to edit and hold Ctrl. First, make sure that the Quad is switched on. The Quad provides you with the fastest way of editing polylines. However, BricsCAD offers you better solutions that reduce your work time.

If you come from other CAD software you might be accustomed to editing polylines in quite a slow and convoluted manner and the more complex the polyline, the longer it takes to edit. With BricsCAD it’s faster for you to edit polylines, add vertices, manipulate sections, and more.
