shift in z

Post by nikolaos » 15.10.2019, 20:11

hi,

Draw in 3D-space isn´t quite so easy, though I ´d guess it´s just a child´s play. I´ve problems with drwaing a line (axis) or with relocating a circle (limitation) in Z-level. Ortho-mode cannot help. So my thought was to measure the position first, then to write down this and to enter all three axis. Can I shift incrementally at all or just input a placeholder for example x?y? Z20 so that only is to shift in z and the other axis are´nt set to zero instead be ignored? (Example: Circle lies on x20, y30, z0 – shall shift to z20, now I enter x20, y30, z20, z20 works, x retains, y retains. Now I have a circle as a profile which I can neither measure nor catch with object snap. This is to shift.

Thanx
nikolaos

hello nikolaos,

It´s basically very simple. There are just 3 different input types.


1. Once the axis-values separated by commas (Autocad) e.g.: 120, 60, 30

2. The axis values with prefixed axis signs e.g.: x120, y60, z30 (arbitrary sequence)
if are not specified all axis the 3 remaining axis will be set with 0-value.

3. The incremental input e.g.: ix120 iy60 iz30. The axis designitions are prefixed an „I“ ( I for incremental) at the incremental input. The values refer to the previous point inputs (and are added)

Example for your proceeding:

- select circle
- activate „Translate“
- enter first point: enter „0“ or click to any other point in the drawing
- enter second point of Translation incrementally: „iz20“ and „Enter“
