MicroStation Lesson-32 Video Lecture - Microstation Tutorials Beginner

right let us resume the patterns toolbar
and this we're seeing the mash pattern
attributes option the option match
pattern attributes is used in order to
find out or in order to use the already
existing patterns in the drawing for
example over here I have created about
three to four different types of
patterns in different objects these two
empty objects can be filled with similar
patterns now instead of using the same
values each time I can directly go ahead
click on mash pattern attributes option
and then click on the pattern after I
click on this again you need to over
here it will display the pattern name as
star angle as 30 and scale as 3 I will
go with left click in order to accept it
after accepting next you will go to this
pattern area option and click on this
and left click in the same style that is
the pattern cell name a star scale as 3
and the angle of 30 degrees a new
pattern is created similarly I will
again go with mash pattern attributes
option this time I'm going to use this
left click over here and the pattern
name is new one pattern angle sixty
degrees and scale is three left click to
accept it after that I am again going
over here pattern an option + left click
over here on the cube on the element and
left click again the same I use which we
which were present over here that is the
pattern cell name as new scale set to 3
and the angle set to 60 degrees has been
applied over here in this way we'll be
using the mash pattern attributes option
in order to copy the settings or the
attributes of a particular pattern from
one element into another element that is
in match pattern attributes option click
on this delete pattern option which is
used for deleting
different patterns and deleted first we
complete the patterns toolbar the next
after this let me delete all of these
we will now go for the group's tool bar
they explode and implode option are the
two important options which are present
in the group's tool bar for example if I
have run a line over here in this way
the first option over here is drop
element in order to use this I'm going
to select a line and with the join
elements option enabled I am going to
draw it in this way right click in order
to come out of it select this option
drop element after which you need to
select what kind of element are you
trying to drop by drop over here we
refer it that is we call it drop over
here which implies the exploding option
select lines strings or shapes so like
this click on this and then left click
now when you check this each line will
be acting or behaving like a single
entity whereas earlier we had created it
using the join elements option in Sedo
yet join elements in this way now click
on this and this entire thing gets
selected together if I go with this
option called drop element select this
and click on this line and now when you
check it each line will be behaving like
a single individual entity that is your
drop element option out here you have a
number of sub options as well
complex dimensions etc suppose I have a
line in this way
select this now this is a complex chain
which consists of lines arts etc select
this and you have dropped it into a
number of elements in this way right so
similarly you can go with complex or let
me choose the dimensions option element
dimensions I am going to change a text
over here
select the dimensioning option
No
select this
so you need to create the dimensions
first I'm selecting this over here here
and here
this is the I mentioned which we have
created
limits haven't been given properly what
I'll do is I will go with the deletion
of everything let me draw one simple
rectangle of 100 by 50 should view right
you know
now when you select this option drop
element and click on dimensions that is
you enable dimensions as well now when
you click on this earlier before
clicking on this you can see this
complete thing is a single entity I will
go with drop element select dimensions I
am click on this and now when you check
it this dimension line is a single
entity
similarly this text is a single entity
these extension lines are individual
entities in this way you will be able to
drop that is to explode or break it up
into a number of components complex
dimensions line strings or shapes even
multi lines
suppose you have multi line over here
select it in this way close element
maintenance select them left
that is how it is going to be dropped
out right that is a drop element option
similarly it also covers shared cells
that is the cells which are presented by
drawing you can even break it up into a
geometry or the normal cells
next comes the text option suppose you
have entered some text over here
now I'll place it over here and right
click in order to select it you can see
the entire object was getting completely
selected if I go with this option so you
got text being enabled left flick over
here and now when you click on this each
object will be behaving like a single
individual entity right that is about
your drop element option the next option
is create complex chain that is nothing
but the complete reversal of dropping
that is you are going to join using
Create complex chain and create complex
shape option let me draw the normal line
over here the option is create complex
chain I'm going to remove this join
elements option
now when you're selecting this line only
a single line is getting selected
instead are you go of it create complex
chain option select this and over here
there are two methods first is the
manual method click on each line that is
each edge
left click after which when you select
this you can see that it has been
totally converted into a single entity
that is your create complex chain option
wherein you will be converting your
broken-down elements into one single
element component elements into compound
elements let us create complex chain
option the next option over here is
create complex shape which let us go for
it in the next session
