TRANSFORMATIONS: MOVE,COPY,ROTATE,SCALE,MIRROR,OFFSET, TRIM,EXTEND,FILLET AND CHAMFER IN DRAFTSIGHT


8.      TRANSFORMATIONS: MOVE,COPY,ROTATE,SCALE,MIRROR,OFFSET, TRIM,EXTEND,FILLET AND CHAMFER

Aim
To get an idea about various transformation function such as move, copy, rotate, scale, mirror, offset, trim, extend, fillet and chamfer in Draft Sight software.
COPY
COPY is the command is used to create one or more copies of selected objects. The copies of the object can be drawn by selecting the copy tool from modify toolbar. The command format for copy function  is
Command: COPY ¿
Specify entities»   ¿
Specify from point»     ¿
Specify second point»    ¿
MOVE
MOVE command is used to move an object or objects from a position to any required position without changing their size. The command can be accessed by selecting Move tool from modify toolbar.
Command: MOVE ¿
Specify entities»   ¿
Specify from point»   ¿
Specify destination»   ¿
ROTATE
ROTATE command is used to rotate the objects through any angle about its base. The command can be accessed by selecting Rotate tool from modify toolbar.
Command: ROTATE ¿
Specify entities»    ¿
Specify pivot point»     ¿
Specify rotation angle»     ¿
SCALE
SCALE command is used to enlarge or reduces entities while keeping the proportions same. The command can be accessed by selecting Scale tool from modify toolbar.
Command: SCALE ¿
Specify entities»     ¿
Specify base point»     ¿
Specify scale factor»     ¿
MIRROR
MIRROR command is used to create mirror or image of an object or objects. The command can be accessed by selecting Move tool from modify toolbar.
Command: MIRROR ¿
Specify entities»   ¿
Specify from point»   ¿
Specify destination»   ¿
OFFSET
Creates parallel shapes of Lines, PolyLines, Circles, Arcs, Ellipses, Elliptical Arcs, Splines, rays, and Infinite Lines. A copy of a selected entity is placed at a specified distance from the original entity. The original entity stays in position.
Command: OFFSET ¿
Specify distance»   ¿
Specify second point»   ¿
Specify source entity»   ¿
Specify side for destination»   ¿
TRIM
Cuts drawing entities precisely at the edges defined by one or more entities. Use Lines, Infinite Lines, rays, PolyLines, Circles, Arcs, or Ellipses as cutting edges to trim the selected entity. Blocks and text cannot be trimmed or used as cutting edges. On sheets, view tiles can be cutting edges.
Command: TRIM¿
Specify cutting edges»   ¿
Specify segments to remove»   ¿
EXTEND
Allows to edit entities that have common boundary edges. Extend expands parts of entities to the intended boundary edge, letting you close polygons precisely or extend entities to the proper boundary edge. As a drawing entity expands, they do not change direction. A Line remains a Line, and an Arc remains an Arc.

 Command: EXTEND¿
Specify boundary edges»   ¿
Specify segments to extend»   ¿
FILLET
Allows creating rounded corners by replacing parts of two Lines with an arc. The filleted entities do not have to intersect, and they can overlap. If the entities overlap, they are trimmed to create the rounded corner and the Lines to be filleted are connected to the fillet arc.
Command: FILLET¿
Specify first entity»   ¿
Specify second entity»   ¿
CHAMFER
Chamfer tool allows connecting two Lines with a beveled corner. The selected entities do not have to intersect, and they can overlap. If the entities overlap, they will be trimmed to create the beveled corner.
Command: CHAMFER¿
Specify first entity»   ¿
Specify second entity»   ¿

BLOCKS: CREATE, EDIT, IMPORT AND EXPLODE IN DRAFTSIGHT

8.       BLOCKS: CREATE, EDIT, IMPORT AND EXPLODE. Aim To understand creating and editing blocks in DraftSight software. Blocks                                                A Block is a collection of entities bound together as a single entity. After creating a Block, we can insert it whenever we need it in a drawing. When you use the MakeBlock command, the symbol is recognized in the current drawing only. The MakeBlock command write a symbol to an external drawing file for use in any drawing. Click the MakeBlock icon on the Draw toolbar. The Block Definition dialog box is displayed. Name: Enter name. Description: Enter description. Units: Select Millimeters. Block entities: Click the Select in graphics area icon. Specify entities>> enter To insert a block Click Insert, Block from the Main menu. The Insert Block dialog box is displayed. The Insert Block dialog box provides the ability to select created symbols. Select the created block and specify
