Icon:
Description
Draws one or multiple polyline entities, fit to the characteristic points of the input entities. The command minimizes accumulated perpendicular distances to the points of the selected entities. The command works with every type of entity, as long as it has characteristic points.
Method
There are two ways to define the input to the FITPOLYLINE command:
- Select fitting entities: choose the entities to which the polyline should be fit.
- Use entire drawing: select all non-frozen entities in the current viewport.
Pick a point for Start of polyline. The guideline is used as a visual aid for the
user, helping to pick the envisioned polyline vertices.
Options within the command
- use Entire drawing
- Selects all non-frozen entities in the current viewport.
- Select fitting entities
- Allows you to select the entities to which the polyline should be
fit.Note:
- If you select a point cloud and a section, the FITPOLYLINE command automatically looks for points inside that section and works with these points.
- If you select a point cloud but not a section, the application asks to select a section.
- If you select a section but not a point cloud, the application asks to select a point cloud.
- Selection contained multiple pointclouds, select one
- Allows you to select a specific point cloud.Note: This option becomes available when there is more than one point cloud in the selection set.
- Selection contained multiple sections, select one
- Allows you to select a specific section.Note: This option becomes available when there is more than one section in the selection set.
- change section crop mOde
- Allows you to choose between points Inside section and points Below section.
- Start the polyline
- Choose a point and start the polyline.
- fit Lines
-
Fits a linear polyline segment to the points between the last fixed polyline vertex and the mouse position.
Note: See the FITLINE command.
- fit Arcs
- Fits an arc polyline segment between the points between the last fixed
polyline vertex and the mouse position.Note: See the FITARC command.
- Best fit
- The algorithm automatically decides whether a linear or an arc polyline
segment is best suited to fit the points between the last fixed polyline
vertex and the mouse position.Note: If the HOTKEYASSISTANT system variable is set ON, press the Ctrl key to cycle between the fit options.
- Undo
- Undoes the last action.
- Close polyline
- Closes the polyline.
- start New polyline
- Starts a new polyline.
Note: Press the Esc key once to end the
current polyline and start a new polyline.
Note: Press the Esc key twice to finish
the command.
- Finish
- Finishes the command.
