We start Editing Commands (Modify) in CNC-Calc Software v7.
This section describes the functions in the Modify menu. These functions are used to modify the drawing geometry in different ways.
In the Modify command group, there are 15 functions to help us design effectively with CNC-Calc Software v7, including: Trim To Intersection, Trim One Element, Trim Two, Elements, Fillet Elements, Chamfer Elements, Break Element, Join Elements, Delete, Remove Duplicates, Offset Elements, Mirror Elements, Translate Elements, Rotate Elements, Scale Elements, Undo.
How to use the Modify command in CNC-Calc Software v7?
Trim To Intersection
Use this option to trim the selected element to the nearest intersection(s).
Select the element to be trimmed on that part to be removed. It is then trimmed to
the intersection(s) nearest to the point where it was selected. The trimmed element
is also broken in two if there are intersections on both sides of the selected point.
Trim One Element
Use this option to trim one element to another.
Select the element to be trimmed first, on the section to be kept, and then select
the element to trim to. This kind of trimming may extend the trimmed element to
the intersection with the element it is trimmed to.
Trim Two Elements
Use this option to trim two elements to each other.
Select the two elements to be trimmed, on the sections to be kept. This kind of
trimming may extend the trimmed elements to their intersection
Fillet Elements
Use this option to create a fillet between two elements, with a fillet radius you
select.
It is optional whether the two elements should also be trimmed to the fillet.
Chamfer Elements
Use this option to create a chamfer between two elements, with a defined angle
and/or distance.
It is optional whether the two elements should also be trimmed to the chamfer.
Break Element
Break element will divide an element into two pieces.
First select the element to be broken into two, and then select the point at which it
should be divided.
Join Elements
Use this option to join two selected elements into one.
Delete
Use this option to delete the elements you select. They can be restored with the
Undo function (the Undo icon in the Modify toolbar).
Remove Duplicates
Select this option to remove duplicate elements in the drawing.
Offset Elements
Use this option to offset the elements you select by a specified distance.
Whether the original element is kept or not is your choice.
Mirror Elements
Use this option to perform a mirror operation of the elements you select along a
line selected as the mirror axis.
It is optional whether the original element should be kept.
Translate Elements
Use this option to translate the elements you select along a vector defined by
selecting two points.
It is optional whether the original should be kept, and it is possible to create
multiple copies, where each copy is translated one step further along the selected
vector.
Rotate Elements
Use this option to rotate elements. This will create one or more copies of the
selected elements, rotated around a selected point, at a specified angle per copy.
It is optional whether the original element should be kept
Scale Elements
Use this option to create one or more copies of the selected elements, scaled about
a selected point by a specified scale factor.
It is optional whether the original element should be kept.
Undo
Select this option to undo one or more operations. This can mean deleting
elements created, restoring deleted elements, and/or undoing modifications to
elements. Undo can also be accessed with Ctrl+Backspace
