INSERT

Purpose:

This mode provides a range of functions and sub-functions, any of which can be selected at the choice of the user, and that enable him to systematically evolve a geometric arrangement comprised of point, line, arc, circle, conic, and spline entities, together with other simple standard constructs that are useful in the drawing development process.

Instructions:

A range of facilities is available for use and from which a user is free to select according to the geometric elements that need to be created and embodied within a drawing.

Select the screen icon that is appropriate to the geometric element that is to be created. The selected mode of geometric definition remains the current mode until the user exits from that form of geometry definition and either selects another geometric element definition mode, within the Insert menu, or changes to another facility within the overall module.

Options:

Any options that are available during the creation of geometric elements and their insertion within drawings are described in the Tip Text for each individual function.

Result:

The two-dimensional geometric entities, elements, that either collectively define a physical object, or which are used as constructions in the definition of the physical object, can be created and displayed on the screen and subsequently stored within a drawing.
