week of 12 september

PLINECONVERTMODE- specifies the fit method used in converting splines to polylines. The 0 integer value creates the polylines with linear segments and the 1 integer value creates polylines with arc segments.

PLINEWID- Allows you to store a default polyline width so whenever you use the polyline command the lines would be drawn to the default width.

FILLMODE- Specifies whether hatches and fills, 2d solids, and wide polylines are filled in. The inital value 1 allows you to see objects that are filled in and 0 does not allow you to see the filled in objects.

This week i learned how to draw polylines and how to convert regular lines into polylines. I learned how to find the area of a polyline shape. I learned how to draw splines but they were not to much fun.

Week 4

COPYMODE- This command allows you to copy an object and place it at a different point. First you select the object you want to copy and then you select the base point of the object. Then you select the point where you want to copy the object.
CIRCLERAD- This command allows you to set the radius of your circles to a certain length.
EDGEMODE-This command sets the cutting edges when you are going to trim certain objects. These edges may also extend from imaginary lines. This command is hard to explain in words but i do understand it.
OFFSETGAPTYPE- Controls how potential gaps between segments are treated when closed polylines are offset.

In this week i learned how to draw circles several different ways as well as rectangles. I learned how to use the trim command and found out that you can extend imaginary cutting edges in order to trim a line that is not actually intersecting an object.
