CAD drafting Construction lines 3

Auxiliary lines are characterized by a layer in which they are placed by default (MCSCLines), color (red) and line type (thin solid), that are set in the settings. Additional settings - prostanovki rays or lines. Settings only apply to newly inserted objects. When you switch the existing objects remain as it is.

The table below describes which objects need to select and how formed auxiliary line in terms nanoCAD.

Some commands allow you to specify a sequence of auxiliary lines in the format XX|XX|XX, where XX - the amount of displacement of the beam (direct) in degrees or drawing units from the base position or previous beam, rendered in this command.
