VariCAD 2016 English - Lesson 14/49 - Selecting 2D Locations Video Lecture | VariCAD: A Fundamental Training - Design Softwares

hello all area for one more lesson of
this regard 2016 training course and
this lesson is called selecting to the
locations so when we are working on the
2d making the normal entities lines arcs
circles and others we need to obtain
specific points for example I'll make a
couple of lines around the screen or
make one or two circles to make kebab
intersections something like this and
basically when I'm drawing these
entities I get this tool bar called
location to work in here I have a couple
of features that allow me to get to
obtain these specific points or options
so for example I go into a line and now
the program is asking me for to select a
point or select endpoint of odd / line
but I can click free on the screen like
this or I can use these options to
insert a location in starting to
describe these functions we have this
one which is I can input X Y absolute
location from our keyboard so if I click
I get a window and I can insert a
coordinate and this coordinate under x
and y is always looking for the absolute
origin of the software so I introduce
something I'll do enter and I'll get a
location in this case it was the same
that I get previously after i have this
incremental possibility so i can click
the dialog box
is very similar and I get also a
distance under X and under why but this
time is not considering the absolute but
the last point given so if I say for
example 10 units in X and 20 on why then
it will look to this point and you'll se
1020 as we enter okay and that's it back
to Carson besides this I have the
possibility to insert polar form at
coordinates which are both angle and the
distance so if I say for example 30
degrees and 100 units then considering
that the direction of the X positive or
from this point to the right it is the
zero degrees in the degrees open
positive in this direction okay then
I'll get something like this okay you
see here we have the zero and open 30
degrees positive and then 100 units so
back to cursor last it is a kind of open
the window this is something we can fix
coordinates or these lengths or angles
but basically it is the exact same
options that we've done in this three
previous function so we have the
absolute coordinates the incremental we
have something called incremental for
dragging and a couple of options for new
coordinates enters these are some of
these are our options that we are going
to see in other videos not in this one
basically we can insert the coordinates
here or the length or the angles as
we've done in these last commands then
going to a different group of options we
have the possibility to pick specific
points and we have a lot of options here
so the first one is to pick an end point
okay and basically I click here and then
I get endpoints of entities in this case
i have only lines so only the lines are
checked here the midpoints again okay if
i click on on the line I'll get the
midpoint automatically I have the center
of a circle or an arc I can click it and
I get it also I have this option for the
nearest in the nearest sometimes it's
very interesting because allow me to
click a point on the entity anywhere but
if I click the entity it will use the
location i'm using or the nearest point
on the entity but i know that it is on
the entity and this concept it is very
important i have also this possibility
to the point i don't have any point here
so we spoke already in one of the last
lessons that point is a certain type of
entity I can use it here I have these
possibility heroes which is insertion
point in this insertion point it is
something that I use when I call for a
symbol or a block I don't have this in
this drawing also but it is a specific
point it is the origin of that block or
of that symbol okay this is quite
similar
it is called connection point we will
leave this for future lesson also and we
have also this nearest dimensioned point
okay i will show it a little later i
will go first for the quadrants and the
quadrants it is like the image like the
the icons show i can get first second
third or fourth quadrant okay i can go
here also graphically and move over and
you see one two three four it is the
same but if i go second i click on the
circle and I automatically I get the the
second quadrant regarding this dimension
point for example i can insert one
dimension and now if i make a line and
go dimension point i can use one point
or the other and if i use this you see
that the point which is great is not the
point of the dimension but the point
that we'd use to put the dimension
because it's different if you if you
know and we will see about this usually
the dimensions they start not exactly on
the point we want to measure but a
little above okay we have a little gap
we have other possibilities also one of
these is to use the exact cursor
location so i can in this exact point
click it and use it okay we have the
possibility to use the nearest grid
point so I'm not sure if it is clear or
not I more or less near a grid point if
I click here it will choose this point
here so let us try and that's it we have
the possibility also to get the
intersection of construction lines I
don't have construction lines in my
drawing but basically it is like this
intersection of things in this case in
this particular case intersection lines
I have the possibility also very
interesting to get the halfway point
between two others so for example i want
to to get the point in the middle of
this to this so i can click here and
then choose the two points and I get the
half way I have this possibility also to
give a distance on top of entity and you
will get me the point also for example
this segment and I can put for example
30 millimeters and you see from here to
here I can try and measure you should
have 30 millimeters okay i have also
another possibility which is a
intersection of extension lines for
example i have a line and the line I can
say this line in this line and if I will
make the extension they will cross here
okay it's very interesting also this
function I have another possibility
which is intersection between a select a
selected segment and a line defined by
the angle in the last point let me try
to make a situation here I will make a
line here and i will make a new one but
i will say 30 degrees
and this line so what it did it was
extended this line and here he put 30
degrees down and this is the point that
virtually it will be that intersection
ok I have also a perpendicular option
for this line for example using this
from the point I was 22 the entity that
was given and last I have the
possibility to from this point to choose
a location to insert a tangent line so
right this point again more or less here
and as you can see i have a tangent from
this point ok so these are the functions
i can use to insert points i have also
specific help which is for example when
i'm doing the line for example if I
click an entity and make the click with
the right mouse button I have the
options in this menu to choose what I
want specifically for this entity and
I'm working so i can use a midpoint for
example and if i use this for a line
again right i have only these
possibilities because i don't have the
quadrants or the arc center in this
particular case so did something
specific for the type of entity I'm
choosing at the precise moment and
clicking so I hope these notions were
clear to you and I hope to see you in
our next lesson
