Operating instructions

Draw Rectangle

  • Draw Right-angle Rectangle by Entering Coordinate Values
    1. On the Object Operation tab, in the Object Drawing group, click the Face Drop-down Button and select the Right-angle Rectangle option from the drop-down menu. The Right-angle Rectangle cursor appears.
    2. Move Stop by Mouse to Map, and you can see that the coordinate value of the current mouse position will be displayed in the Parameter Input box in real time with the movement of the mouse in Map. Enter the coordinate value of a point on the Right-angle Rectangle in the Parameter Input box (you can switch between the two Parameter Input boxes by pressing the Tab key) and press the Enter key to determine the starting position of the rectangle.
      3. Move the mouse
    3. again and enter the coordinate value of another point in the diagonal direction of the rectangle in the Parameter Input box, and press Enter to finish the drawing.
      4. Right-click
    4. to cancel the current drawing operation.
  • Draw Rectangle by Width and Height
    1. On the Object Operation tab, in the Object Drawing group, click the Face Drop-down Button. Select the Right-angle Rectangle (Width, Height) command from the drop-down menu and the rectangle cursor appears.
    2. Move Stop by Mouse to the map, and you can see that the coordinate value of the current mouse position will be displayed in the Parameter Input box in real time as the mouse moves. Enter the coordinates of a vertex of the rectangle in the Parameter Input box (use the Tab key to switch the input focus) and press Enter to determine the starting position of the rectangle.
    3. Move the mouse, and the width and height of the rectangle will be displayed in Map in real time. Enter the width and height of the rectangle in the Parameter Input box, and press Enter to finish drawing.
      4. Right-click
    4. to cancel the current drawing operation.

Draw a Rounded Rectangle

  1. On the Object Operation tab, in the Object Drawing group, click the Face Drop-down Button and select the Rounded Rectangle option from the drop-down menu. The Rounded Rectangle cursor appears.
  2. Move Stop by Mouse to Map, and the coordinate value of the current mouse position will be displayed in the Parameter Input box in real time as the mouse moves. Enter the coordinate value of a vertex on the Rounded Rectangle in the Parameter Input box (you can switch between the two input boxes by pressing the Tab key) and then press the Enter key to determine the starting position of the Rounded Rectangle.
  3. Move the mouse to display the width and height of the rectangle in Map in real time. Enter the width and height of the rectangle in the Parameter Input box and press Enter.
  4. Move the mouse, and you can see that the radian of the four corners of Rounded Rectangle changes accordingly. Enter the radius (length) of the rounded corner in the Parameter Input box, and press Enter to complete the drawing.
    Caution:

    Enter a length of 0 or a negative value to get a Right-angle Rectangle. When the length is greater than 1/2 of the length of the short side, the radian of the fillet will not change.

  5. Right-click to cancel the current drawing operation. The drawing process

    of Rounded Rectangle is shown in the following figure:

Draw the Paralle logram

  • Draw Parallelogram by Entering Coordinate Values
    1. On the Object Operation tab, in the Object Drawing group, click the Face Drop-down Button and select the Parallelogram option from the drop-down menu. The Parallelogram cursor appears.
    2. Move Stop by Mouse to Map, and you can see that the coordinate value of the current mouse position will be displayed in the Parameter Input box in real time as the mouse moves. Enter the coordinates of a vertex of the Parallelogram in the Parameter Input box (you can switch between the two Parameter Input boxes with the Tab key) and press the Enter key to determine the position of the Parallelogram.
    3. Move the mouse and enter the coordinate value of the second control point in the following Parameter Input box (you can switch between the two Parameter Input boxes by pressing the Tab key), and press the Enter key to determine the length and direction of one side of the Parallelogram.
    4. Enter the coordinate value of the next control point and press Enter to determine the position of the third control point of the Parallelogram. At this time, the Parallelogram is drawn.
      5. Right-click
    5. to cancel the current drawing operation.
  • Draw Parallelogram by entering length, angle
    1. On the Object Operation tab, in the Object Drawing group, click the Face Drop-down Button and select the Parallelogram (Length, Angle) command from the drop-down menu. The Parallelogram cursor appears.
    2. Move Stop by Mouse to Map, and you can see that as the mouse moves, the Parameter Input box will display the coordinate value of the current mouse position in real time. Enter the coordinates of a vertex of the Parallelogram in the Parameter Input box (you can switch between the two Parameter Input boxes with the Tab key) and press the Enter key to determine the starting position of the Parallelogram.
    3. Move the mouse, and you can see that as the mouse moves, Map will display the length of the line connecting the mouse position and the starting point and the included angle between the line and the positive direction of the X axis in real time. Toggle between the two Parameter Input boxes) and press Enter to determine the length and angle of one side of the Parallelogram.
      4. Enter the length and angle of the other side of the Parallelogram in the
    4. same way, and press Enter to complete the drawing of the Parallelogram.
      5. Right-click
    5. to cancel the current drawing operation.

Draw a diamond

  1. On the Object Operation tab, in the Object Drawing group, click the Face Drop-down Button and select the Diamond option from the drop-down menu. A diamond cursor appears.
  2. Move Stop by Mouse to Map, and you can see that as the mouse moves, the Parameter Input box will display the coordinate value of the current mouse position in real time. Enter the coordinate value of the diamond vertex in the Parameter Input box (you can use the Tab key to switch between the two Parameter Input boxes) and press the Enter key to determine the starting position of the diamond.
  3. Move the mouse, and you can see that as the mouse moves, Map will display the length of the line connecting the mouse position and the starting point and the included angle between the line and the positive direction of the X axis in real time (you can switch between the two Parameter Input boxes by pressing the Tab key). Press Enter to determine the angle of the other side of the diamond, and press Enter to complete the drawing of the diamond.
  4. Right-click to cancel the current drawing operation.
