Experience the function of Zhongwang CAD2006i (1)---multi-line

Recently, the upgraded version of Zhongwang CAD2006----Zhongwang CAD2006i has finally been launched in the strong expectation of users. This is another excellent software after the release of CAD2006 in May this year. Zhongwang CAD2006i, which was launched by Zhongwang Company after more than five months of development, has made a more comprehensive and perfect improvement on Zhongwang CAD2006 both in performance and function. In this version, it reflects more "in the user's thinking" improvement concept, to meet the most urgent needs of users. The multi-line and multi-line styles have attracted the author's interest, as detailed below.

Multi-line is a commonly used method of drawing lines. It is one of the tools for designers to improve their work efficiency because they can define multiple different elements in a group of lines and provide convenient and convenient style management. Drawing simple multi-line is the basic usage, and providing users with the ability to define, save, and edit multi-line styles makes multi-line truly a practical and efficient feature.

1, draw simple multi-line

Menu: [Drawing] - [Multi-line]

Command line: mline

Function: draw multiple parallel lines according to the set style, scale and alignment.

The whole drawing process is similar to drawing a line. After specifying the starting point of the multi-line, specify the next point. When the multi-line has two or more segments, the drawing option has more closing options, which can be used to close the current multi-line.

In the process of drawing multiple lines, there are three options for the user to set, which are alignment, scale, and style:

Alignment : Let the user specify which alignment to use to draw multiple lines.

Top: The cursor is aligned with the uppermost line of the multi-line, that is, the element with the largest positive offset value.

Medium: The cursor is aligned with the multiline origin, so the offset of the Element Characteristic in the MLSTYLE command will be at the specified point.

Bottom: The cursor is aligned with the bottom line of the multiline, that is, it is aligned with the element of the largest negative offset value.

proportion:

Used to control the width of multiple lines, which is equivalent to changing the offset value of each element of multi-line. However, changes to this ratio do not affect the line style ratio.

The final multiline width is the width* scale defined in the multiline style definition. For example, when the scale factor is 2, when drawing multiple lines, its width is twice the width defined by the style. The negative scale factor will flip the order of the offset lines: when drawing multiple lines from left to right, the multi-line with the least offset is drawn at the top. The absolute value of the negative scale factor also affects the scale. A scale factor of 0 will be drawn as defined in the multiline style. For more information on multiline style definitions, see the multiline style definition below.

style:

Specify a style for multiple lines.

Enter a multiline style name or [?]: Enter a style name or input?

Style Name: Specify the style name that was loaded or the style name defined in the created multiline library (MLN) file.

? -- List Styles: Lists the multiline styles that have been loaded.

2, custom multi-line

Zhongwang CAD2006i provides a multi-line style definition dialog that can intuitively define multi-line styles and features. The Multiline Styles dialog not only displays multiline style names, descriptions, and previews. You can also add, modify, delete, and rename multiline styles. And loading styles from files and saving multi-line styles.

Style: Lists all multiline style names that are currently loaded.

Description: An annotation for the currently selected multiline style.

Preview box: Live preview of the currently selected multi-line style.

Set to Current: Set the current multiline style name to be used, and the current style will be used in the subsequent drawing.

Rename: Renames the currently selected multiline style.

Delete: Delete the currently selected multi-line style.

Save: Save the current multiline style as a .mln file for other graphics calls.

Load: The pop-up load multi-line style dialog box. List all defined multi-line styles for the selected multi-line file, optionally load:

Modify: Edit your own multi-line styles (including elements and features). Note, however, that you cannot edit the STANDARD multiline style or the elements and multiline features of any multiline style being used in the drawing. To edit an existing multiline style, you must do so before drawing multiple lines with that style.

Add: After selecting Add, the Create New Multiline Style dialog box will pop up, and select an existing style as the inheritance style.

After the point continues, the new multi-line style dialog box pops up:

Description: An annotation can be added to the current multiline style. You can enter up to 255 characters (including spaces).

Sealing: Set the sealing at both ends of the multi-line

Straight line: Sealed in a straight line at each port of the multi-line

Outer arc: seals the arc between the outermost elements of the multi-line

Inner arc: Creates an arc between the inner pair of elements. If there are an odd number of elements, the straight line in the middle is not connected. For example, if there are 4 elements, the inner arc joins elements 2 and 3; if there are 5 elements, the inner arc joins elements 2 and 4, and element 3 is not connected.

Angle: Specify the angle of the seal at both ends, such as a straight seal with a specified 60 degree:
