Commands
Ribbon/Toolbar Icon | Command | Command Description |
---|---|---|
|
CADMinSimplifyPolyline |
Simplifies polyline by removing vertices using Douglas-Peucker Reduction. The distance dimension ε is user-defined. Supported are polyline entities. |
|
CADMinContinuesSmartJoin |
Tries to join all lines connected to base one. Something like joining back exploded polyline. Supported are line entities. |
|
CADMinConvexHull |
Creates convex hull using Grahams Scan. Supported are polylines (2D,3D), lines, circles, points, block references and dtext entities. |
|
CADMinContinuesSelect |
Select all lines connected to base one. Something like connecting back exploded polyline. A tolerance is provided. Supported are line entities. |
|
CADMinClearRegion |
Clears polylinear region from entities. Supported entities are point, circle, block reference, dtext, line and polylines. Linear entities are trimmed or removed, the other entities are removed if inside region. |
|
CADMinPlineSplit |
Creates vertices on polyline at specific interval. It is very suitable for the positioning of point objects along a linear axis. The vertices at specific interval replaces the original polyline vertices. Supported are polyline entities. |
|
CADMinDist |
Measures and displays the 2D and 3D distance, X-, Y- and Z- difference and the Geodetic Direction between two points. |
|
CADMinPline3DTo2D |
Converts 3D polylines to 2D polylines. |
|
CADMinPline3DTo2DAll |
Converts all 3D polylines in drawing to 2D polylines. |
|
CADMinPlineMark |
Creates markers (points or circles) at polyline's vertices. Supported are polyline entities. |
|
CADMinPolylabel |
Find a visual center of a polygon. The algorithm is described here: https://blog.mapbox.com/a-new-algorithm-for-finding-a-visual-center-of-a-polygon-7c77e6492fbc |
|
CADMinSmartBreak |
Break an object with mouse click; repeat operation as many times as needed |
|
CADMinPlineVertexOnCross |
Add vertices on polyline's crossing with another polylines |
