Drawing Settings

When drawing objects, we may encounter more complex Dataset and need to automatically identify some drawing operations. At this time, if we can Autoconnect, close and break the line objects in drawing, automatically split the surface objects, and set the number of nodes currently displayed when there is a large amount of data, our work efficiency will be improved to a certain extent.

On the Object Operation tab-> Object Drawing group, click the Drawing Settings drop-down menu where the Caption Operate mentioned above is organized, and you can set the current drawing according to the drawing. Settings include:

Auto Connect Line Object

After the Auto Connect Line object is enabled, you can snap a segment line object (A) to another segment line object (B), and Autoconnect the two line objects into one line object in the drawing order at the snap position (the start point or end point of object B).

Auto-Close Line Object

Used to automatically close objects when drawing polylines, curves, polylines, and Free Curves.

Auto-Split Line object

When you Draw Line Objects, the original object and the newly drawn line object are automatically broken at the intersection, and multiple line objects are generated at the same time.

Auto-Spilt Region object

During Draw Surface Objects, the part of the currently drawn plane object intersected with other plane objects is automatically cut and removed, and a new object is obtained.

Parametric Drawing

In the process of drawing some objects, directly inputting the coordinates, length, angle and other parameters of the drawing object can make the drawing process more convenient.

Draw Polyline

Used to draw a continuous line object consisting of multiple types of line segments.

Real-time Refresh

Real-time Refresh is enabled by default. When Object Editing is finished, the map will be refreshed in real time and no editing trace will be left. However, when the data is large, the editing efficiency will be affected. If it is not enabled, the map will not be refreshed and only editing trace will be left when Object Editing is finished.

Auto-coordinate node editing

Auto-coordinate node editing is used for node editing of two or more objects with adjacency relationship. When this function is turned on, dragging the adjacent node will automatically maintain the adjacency relationship between objects. It is not turned on by default.

Show nodes of drawn objects

The drawing object node is enabled by default, and the node of the drawing object can be displayed during drawing.

Sticky movement tolerance

Sticky moving tolerance is used to set the tolerance value of Move Object. If the distance is less than tolerance value when using the mouse to Move Object, the move will not be executed to avoid moving Object by mistake when Select Object. When the tolerance value is 0, this function is off.

Caution:
    When
  • Move Object, note the impact of the snap function. If the sticky movement tolerance is 0 and the snap function is turned on, and the object node is snapped during Move Object, the movement may not be performed. It is recommended that you turn off snapping when you need to move a small distance.
  • You are not subject to sticky movement tolerance when
  • using the keyboard arrow keys for Move Object.

Maximum Visible Nodes Number

The default Maximum Visible Nodes Number is the 36000000. When an object has more than 36000000 nodes, the object is not displayed.

Maximum editable Records

The default maximum editable Records is 10000. When you select more than 10000 editable Records, the system takes effect for edits to 10000 of them.

Batch Edit Max Records

The default maximum number of records for bulk editing is 2000. When the number of batch edited records reaches 2000, the system will automatically submit the 2000 edited records. The setting should not be too small, otherwise the system will submit frequently and slow down the program.

Guide style

The auxiliary line refers to the drawing auxiliary line displayed when drawing objects such as B-Spline Curve, three-point arc, Bezier Curve, Line (length, angle), etc. The auxiliary line style can be customized.
