Enter Plan
This function allows you to draw a plan that consists of the elements defined by points, segments and arcs. All created objects will be displayed in the graphical view in the Enter Plan dialog.
The basic commands of the Enter Plan dialog are available through:
- The map view tools which are arranged in two groups. More...
- The drawing toolbar which allows you to create an object. More...
- The Enter Plan dialog toolbar, located at the bottom part ow the dialog window. More...
- The snap toolbar which allows you to create a point for the object which was selected in the Drawing Toolbar. More...
- Click
to open a menu of options which may be useful for you:- Edit Points - opens the Points dialog to edit the points of the plan.
- Edit Lines - opens the Linework dialog to edit the lines of the plan.
Fields and buttons of the Enter Plan dialog:
|
Defines the start point of a line / arc or the reference point for another point creation or the center of a circle. |
|
Defines the end point of the line / arc. This field available in the Point and Arc 3 pt mode. |
|
Defines the center or third point of an arc. This field available only in the Arc 3 pt mode. |
|
Opens the list of the points in the job. You may select any point from this list. |
|
Defines the direction. This field is displayed in all modes, but it is available for the parameters input only in the Length and Arc modes. |
|
Defines the line length. This field available in the Length and Circle mode. |
|
Defines the arc radius. This field is available only in the Arc and Arc 2pt modes. This field contains the list of the following parameters, which may define the arc radius:- Radius (default)
- Chord angle
- Curve angle
Click the button to see the list and select the required value. |
|
Defines the arc delta angle. This field available only in the Arc mode. This field contains the list of the following parameters, which may define the arc length:- Delta angle (default)
- Length of the curve
- Length of the chord
- Length of the tangent
- Middle ordinate (the distance from the midpoint of a chord to the midpoint of the corresponding curve)
- External (the distance from the midpoint of the curve to the intersection point of tangents).
Click the button to see the list and select the required value. |
|
Allows quickly add or subtract standard angles to the current direction. Extend function sets the value angle of tangent direction to the previous element in the linework. |
|
Measures the linear or angle parameters depending on the selected mode:- If the Circle mode is selected, length can be measured for two existing points.
- If the Length mode is selected, either length, azimuth, or length and azimuth values can be measured for two existing points.
- If the Arc mode is selected, either azimuth or radius / chord angle / curve angle or length / delta / chord / tangent / middle ordinate / external values can be measured.
- If the Arc 2 pt mode is selected, radius / chord angle / curve angle can be measured.
|
|
Clicking on the button opens a list of the modes. You can set the current mode. |
|
Discards the last performed action. It will be unable if the creation of an object is completed. |
|
Add a new element to the current linework. The end point of the newly created object is automatically set as the new start point for next element. |
|
Save changes to the currently edited element. The button is displayed instead of when you are editing an element. |
When you finished to specify new object parameters but have not clicked
, the dotted red line will be shown from the start point to the end point. This proposed line helps you to see an object before it is created.
To edit an element:
- Select it on the plan.
- Define its new parameters as required.
- Save changes by clicking
.
Object drawing modes
Fields for defining new objects parameters are located at the bottom of the dialog. Field type depends on the current mode. To set current mode, click
and select the required mode from the list.
- If the Draw Line is selected, lines, circle or arcs can be created and displayed after configuring the required mode:
- Length - in this mode you may define the line by its length and direction in the appropriate fields from a start point. You may select the start point in the field
from the list or by clicking on the plan. - Point - in this mode you can create a line from one existing point to another existing point. The additional field for end point of the line
is displayed in this mode. You may select the required points from the list or by clicking on the plan. - Circle - in this mode you may to define the circle using any existing point as center of the circle. Also you need to define the circle radius.
- Arc - in this mode you may create an arc with the right or left turning from a start point.
- Arc 2 pt - in this mode you may create an arc, defined by two existing points.
- Arc 3 pt - in this mode you may create an arc, defined by three existing points.
- Rectangle - this mode allows automatic fourth point creation to complete a rectangle.
- Close - this mode allows automatic closing of a linework. This mode is available only if the linework contains at least two lines segment.
- Restart - this mode finishes the creating of the linework or point. After that you can start creation of new object(s).
- If the Draw Line is deselected, points can be created and displayed after configuring the required mode:
- Length - in this mode you create an end point of a line. This line will be defined by its length and direction angle from a start point, which may be specified in the appropriate fields. You may select the start point in the field
from the list or by clicking on the plan. - Circle - in this mode you create a circle. You may select the circle's center
from the list or by clicking on the plan. This circle will be defined by its radius. - Arc - in this mode you create an end point of an arc.
- Restart - this mode finishes the creating of the points. After that you can start creating of new object(s).
