CAD drafting Gradient symbol 6Command line: SPGRAD.

Procedure

1. Call the command.

2. Using the "Properties" context menu command, open the "Gradient symbol" dialog box. Make the gradient symbol settings and confirm the changes with the "OK" button.

3. Select the line in the drawing for which you want to set the gradient symbol.

4. Place the gradient symbol on the selected line or leader flange.

5. The gradient symbol is drawn and associated associatively with the specified line.

Dialog

CAD software Gradient symbol 7

The editing dialog contains:

  • Selection button type of designation: Gradient without designation, Left gradient and Left taper.

  • Input field for gradient symbol value. The input field is active if the associativity mode is disabled. If necessary, turn off the associative connection mode by turning off the CAD drafting Gradient symbol 9"Associative" switch (when setting, the associativity mode is turned on automatically).

  • CAD software Gradient symbol 10"Pick from driwing" button. When the associativity mode is off, the button is active and allows you to measure the gradient symbol value in the drawing.

  • Switch CAD drawing Gradient symbol 11"Associative". Controls the display of the gradient symbol value. If the switch is on, the value is taken from the associated line, if it is off, it is entered manually.
  • Drop-down list "Representation". Allows you to select how the slope units are represented:

    • As is
    • Ratio
    • Decimal
    • Percent
    • Permille
    • Degree
  • "Text on leader" checkbox. Toggles whether the gradient symbol is on a shelf or on a line.

  • "Gradient type" group. Allows you to select the type of gradient symbol:

    • On section
    • On plane

Grips

CAD drafting Gradient symbol 12

1. Grip for selecting the slope symbol representation.

2. Shelf movement grip.

3. Base move grip. When you move, the associativity with the line is lost and an additional fourth grip appears.

4. Grip for changing the angle of inclination of the base.
