Using this program module, you can
create a unit (tables, interior elements, beds and etc.)
using a
set of created elements, which can be
designed, using primitives.
The ready unit adds to the horizontal menu of the program. In
this way
you can create your own library with units, which can be used
in the
future drawings, increasing the design opportunities of the program.You
can use 2D and 3D primitives. The 2D- primitives can not be used for
union, internal cutting or cutting of section (operations from the toolbar with icons),
because they are not volumetric bodies. But they
can be transformed in 3D body if they describe a closed area. For this
purpose the primitives, that close two-dimensional area must be
united( 
from the toolbar). Set the size of the missing third
(Z) axis of the coordinate system  .
The got 3D primitive can be used for
creation of any forms
depending on the purposes: an union with other bodies, cutting of parts
and etc. During the creation of units it is
necessary to create various
elements. Therefore it is practical to use some temporary working
drawings
simultaneously. Open some new jobs, in every activate the
module New unit
construction New Base
and create the elements of unit in them. After that, using the
operations Copying and Create copy from the Vertical menu, insert the ready elements in one
drawing, and unite them as one unit.
The
frequently used elements (handles, legs, ornaments for a cutting) you
can save in separate drawings without saving them as units. This
way you can use them in other units
creation.

|
After the end of work with new
unit you must close the form New unit construction and toolbar.
Otherwise at the next opening
AutoCAD will inform
you that this
program module is already active (press the button OK to open the
form). The dropdown list Layer
shows all layers in the current drawing. To
create a new layer, enter its name into the field. It creates
automatically and connectes with primitive, which you create.
The button
Set
hides the form and returns you in the drawing to specify a point for
positioning of the primitive.
When you create primitive the drawing must be in a Top view.
|
|
The operation returns you in the
working drawing, hiding the main form without
closing the program
module. It is for manipulation with objects in the drawing and work
with a
toolbar or menu of the program - horizontal and vertical. The form New
unit construction opens by an icon  .
The set new view remain active at positioning of primitives,
until it not be changed again from a
toolbar.

2D
Line
|
|
The line is a
basic primitive
for creation of more complex elements of the unit. You can build all
kinds
of ovall shapes, to transform them in area and create three-dimensional
bodies from them. Into the fields Length
on X and
Length on Y
enter the exact sizes. Depending on that what
must be the
line - horizontal or vertical, check one of the
fields Without deviation
on Y or the
other - for X.
The entered size in the other field automatically ignores and
you get a line with exact length or height. The line
draws
from
the point, specified in the drawing,
(button Set) from left to the right or from below
upwards. If you have entered values into the two fields, the line will
be diagonal. Here, certainly, does matters if the button ORTHO in
the AutoCAD status bar is switched on (it allows deviations
only on 90 degrees). The value into the field Height of line
creates a tape. It is not recommendatory to close an element in area,
in which participates a line with height .

2D
Arch
|
|
Draws
an arch. Object is
easy for work and extremely flexible. Values of two corners for first
and end point are set in the form by default and if you want can
change them. The value Height
of arch will extend the line of
an arch on
height, creating a tape on Z. Its position in the drawing defines by
the button Set.
Then use the manipulating points to change its
position, to pick up the end of an arch to other objects or to change
radius.
|
2D
Circle
|
|
Creates two dimensional circle. At
zero value into the field Height of circle
you will get a flat circle. If you enter value, creates an
external
ring around the circle.Volume of a circle is not filled in the
two cases.
Marking the option Fills volume of a
circle, you automatically ignore the circle height
(external tape). A flat volumetric circle creates.
|
2D
Broken line
|
|
Draws a
two-dimensional polyline,
which represents a connected sequence of lines or
arches.
You can
create up to 8 lines, using consecutive specifying of a position
of the points, describing them in the coordinate system. The
primitive creates
automatically in 2D plain on X and Y in coordinate system, irrespective
of the current view. The first point is an absolute
0 of
your primitive on two of axes of the coordinate system. The
zero
values into fields for distances of a point break the
broken line.
To change a way of linkage between two points (number in Line) from a
line to an arch, put a mark into a field for a line in Draw primitive.
The arch radius can be expressed as a ratio in conformity to
the length
of a line. The value of a ratio can vary from 0.99 to -0.99.
The
values into the field Height
of a line draw out a line on Z. If you want to
connect the first
point and the last (end) point of the line automatically , you must mark Close area. For direct closing and
creation of area (region) check an option Fills and closes area
by a
line. The closing of area automatically ignores height of the
line. The
created as values primitive adds in the drawing with the button Set. It
returns you in the drawing to specify
a point of plotting (point 1
of the scheme). Each next point adds its own deviations to the
specified point in the drawing. You can use the points in the drawing
for manual final forming
of a figure, necessary to you.
Created 2D
primitive can be used for creation of area and subsequent
three-dimensional body or as a design line (for 3D Element - pipe, 3D
profiles and etc).

2D
Ellipse
|
|
Draws an 2D or 3D ellipse.Enter the sizes of the
two
radiuses. You can specify the model of an ellipse (in vertical
or in a horizontal position) in a view in which you
are.
Create area - Saves
the created 2D
ellipse as area (region) with the purpose to exttrude solid.
Create
three-dimensional body - Automatically creates
three-dimensional body (solid) from created area having in view the
entered value for Thickness
of body.
This option has direct connection with Create area.
The button Create returns in
the
drawing for specifying the position of the central ellipse
point .
If the option Create area
is switched off, you can manually change the radiuses. Use their points
for manipulation. You must have in view that the radiuses values have a
direct relation and the kind of ellipse is defined from the correlation
between them.
|
2D
Polygon
|
|
Creates a
polygon. Enter radius of
a circle, on which the points of the polygon will be projected. The
circle actually does not exist. It is used only as a way
of description of the polygon. The number of the sides can not
be
less
than 3 (triangle) and it is equal to the number of angles. After its
creation in the drawing you can use the points for
intercepting on
corners to change the form of the polygon.
