With the items in the Edit menu you draw and change the geometry of the furnace. The Edit menu is only available in Geometry Mode.
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Undo | Cancels the last action. |
Redo | Cancels the last Undo. |
Unselect All | Unselects all points, lines and blocks, see Canceling selection. |
Select All | Selects all points and lines, see Selecting all elements. |
Delete | Deletes the selected points and lines, see Deleting elements. |
Merge Points | Merges selected points being closer to one another than the tolerance. You need this option e.g. to connect two line ends. For information about using the tolerance, see Using Tolerance and Raster. |
Split Lines | Moves selected points to the closest selected line by normal projection, if the point is closer to the line than the tolerance. The result is split lines. For information about using the tolerance, see Using Tolerance and Raster. |
Intersect Lines | Generates points at all crosses of the selected lines. You can select many lines at once. For information about using the tolerance, see Intersecting lines. |
mesh Alignment | Moves all selected points to the closest raster point, even if the raster is off, see Using mesh alignment. |
Copy/Move To | Dialog for copying or moving selected elements, see |
Create Block | Groups all selected lines to a block. Each line can belong to one single block at a time. Each block has an associated color, see Working with blocks. |
Rotate Selection | Rotates all selected elements, see Rotate selection dialog. |
Flip | Turns over the geometry. To get the primary state select the option again, see Applying Flip. |
Mirror | Swaps the geometry left/right (changes x to -x), see Applying Mirror. |
scale | Multiplies the coordinates of all points with the scale factor, see Scale dialog. |
Align Left | Moves the whole drawing so that the point with the smallest x coordinate is on the symmetry axis. This is useful e.g. for imported *.dxf files, see Importing a CAD File (dxf-Format). |
Align Origin | Moves the whole drawing so that the point with the smallest x and y coordinate is on the origin (x = y = 0). This is useful e.g. for imported *.dxf files, see Importing a CAD File (dxf-Format). |
