The new Smart Drafting Tool automatically infers construction lines
The new smart drafting facility in MEDUSA4 ADVANCED™ provides the means to quickly and easily generate geometry without the need for construction lines prior to drawing.
The Smart Drafting Tool allows construction lines to be automatically inferred between points created and displays them dynamically as the cursor moves inside the drawing area.
Users can:
Determine snap mode, automatically snapping to existing segment points (e.g. nearest, middle, tangent, centre points)
Determine grid step length for subsequent points
Determine grid step angles for subsequent points
Determine incremental angles relative to last line
Easily extend existing geometry
The new Smart Drafting Tool dynamically displays segment information and relationships to previous segments
As users draw their geometry, context sensitive information fields dynamically display segment length, angle or radii information. Intuitive pop-up menus and keyboard shortcuts, as well as visual representations of relationships between current and last lines (e.g. perpendicular/parallel) further speed up the design process.
