grain Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hi, Like 'Autocad Electrical', does the standard Autocad 2008 have the facility of automatically inserting an arc to indicate that crossing lines are not connected. If not what do our dear viewers do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I prefer blobs where there IS a join. Makes life a lot easier when something has to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I do what i think your talking about in Vanilla autocad, with a pline and arcs using the direction option.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grain Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Ghostrider, thats the cleverest reply ive seen. Thanks p.s How did you do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yea I like those little gif's picture explain better than words sometimes... there are a few programs out there that can record from your screen the one I use is called Camtasia studo. I learned about it here seeing a few posts with it in it, probably one of fuccoro's.. the Polyline is easy to "jump" the crossing lines, use the option for arc "a" then set the direction you want the arc with "d" to go back to a straight line hit "l" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
