Description

Automatically aligns copied entities with relevant geometry, using temporary guide curves.

Method

The command can be executed in two ways:

  • Pre-pick mode: select entities first, then launch the command.
    Note: The entities to be copied are displayed in green.
  • Post-pick mode: launch the command, then select the entities using a selection window.
    Note: All entities that fall completely within the selection window are included in the copy selection set and are displayed in yellow. Entities that cross the selection window are used as guide curves and are displayed in blue.

Blue arrows indicate the anchor points and direction of the guide curves. The copied entities will only align with geometry that matches the number of guide curves and distances between them.

Click to place the copy or type a distance in the dynamic entry fields.
