12 Drawing Tools

CNC Scan CAD contains several simple tools
that can be used to trace over images. These
tools can be accessed with using either tool
bar buttons or the Draw pulldown menu.

12.1 Line Tool

Command line LINE
Like most CAD programs, in a simple line with connected segments, each segment is a separate line
object.
A line consists of two points - a start-point and an end-point. You may connect a series of lines, but
once again, each line segment is considered a separate line object.

12.1.1 To draw a line

1. Choose Draw > Line.
2. Specify the start point
3. Specify the end point
4. Press Enter to complete the command
To start a new line at the endpoint of the last line drawn, start the Line command again and press Enter
at the Specified Start Point prompt.
To continue drawing a line segment from the endpoint of your last line drawing, you may start over with
the Line command, press Enter, and then click your mouse to specify your start-point.
If the last object one drew was an arc, one can also draw a line connecting to and starting from the
endpoint of the arc.
