burkecorp Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 If possible I'd like to jave someone advise how I can split a drawing along a line or axis. For example if I have a house plan I'd like to be able to split the plan along a reference line by a certain distance and then extend the lines to meet again once the reference line is deleted if possible?

ReMark Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Are you attempting to stretch the floor plan a certain distance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkecorp Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 yes I'm trying to split a building along a reference line then move everything say above that line a certain distance and delete the reference line and join the split lines back together.

ReMark Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Sounds like way too much work. Just use the STRETCH command to stretch the building the required distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work on the copy drawing, then if it works, "save as" the original name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
