Subsidiary lines

Toolbar: SYSCAD Draw -> SYSFLY-Subsidiary line ->

Ribbon: SYSCAD Draw -> Subsidiary lines ->

Subsidiary lines are available as construction lines also, adjustable at the dialog box SYSCAD VARIABLE . If this option is deactivated, the subsidiary lines are generated on the layer "H_LINIE" depending on the drawing limits as normal lines.

Horizontal

Draws a horizontal subsidiary line via point definition.

Vertical

Draws a vertical subsidiary lines via point definition.

Cross

Draws a cross of subsidiary lines through the selected point.

Limits

Draws a polyline around the current drawing limits.

2 points

Draws a subsidiary line through 2 points.

Angle

For angular subsidiary lines a line for the difference angle must be selected after the angle input. With the inquiry "Subsidiary line through point" you define the location of the subsidiary line. With confirming the inquiry "Select line", the subsidiary line is drawn in absolute angle coordinates of AutoCAD.

Bisecting the angle

After specifying the vertex, the angle start point and the angle end point, a bisecting auxiliary line is drawn between the two virtual lines. Further angle end points can be specified or the programme can be terminated with RETURN.

Offset

Analogously to the AutoCAD command "OFFSET" this function is used to offset subsidiary lines or lines in one block.

You may insert several offset values at the same time and divide them by a semicolon.

Example:

Insert distance or [through point] 30;40;50

offsets the selected line 30, 40 and 50 drawing units each. The inquiry about the reference object can be answered with RETURN and referring to 2 points.

Offset = 0

This function is used to offset subsidiary lines directly on points or edges in blocks.

Center

Draws an auxiliary line centrally between 2 selected lines or polyline segments (also in the block).

Subframe in countour with diff. distances

Draw subsidiary lines inside a closed contour with the choice of different or equal distances.

Separating subsidiary line

Draws subsidiary lines as segment separator to lines, polylines, and arcs.

Profile

Draws a subsidiary lines through the edges and the axis of the selected profile in the elevation and in the section.

Profile axis

Draws a subsidiary line through the axis of the selected profile in the elevation and in the section.

Profile outside

Draws a subsidiary line through the edges of the selected profile in the elevation and in the section.

Basket arch

Draws a basket arch as an auxiliary line. Input by 2 points and the stitch size.

segmental arch

Draws a segmental arch as an auxiliary line. Input by 2 points and the stitch size.

Subsidiary line layer on / off

Switch the layer H_LINIE on or off.

Subsidiary line layer lock / unlock

Locks or unlocks the layer H_LINIE.

Delete

Deletes all objects of the drawing on layer H_LINIE.
