Red circles appear around endpoints near where any gap in geometry is estimated to be. Figure 33. Hatch boundary gap Additional enhancements provide more robust boundary detection and the ability to edit nonassociative hatch objects. You can select on a non-associative hatch and then use intuitive grips to dynamically change its shape. Figure 34. Non-associative hatch editing Color Selection In AutoCAD 2010, you can set layer colors and pick from the AutoCAD Color Index with ease. Access the Select Color dialog box directly from the Layer drop-down list by selecting on the layer color swatch. If the layer has a viewport color override, the color swatch has a white border. The new color you select applies to the appropriate viewport color override or global color. Behavior within the Select Color dialog box has also been improved. As you hover the cursor over a color swatch, the arrow cursor and a black border are displayed in addition to the traditional white border making it easier to see which swatch you are about to select. Figure 35. Select the spline you want to edit and choose the Convert to Polyline option. You'll then be prompted to specify a precision for the conversion. The higher the value, the more accurate the polyline. Figure 41. Convert to Polyline option www. autodesk. com/autocad http://heidihewett. blogs. com/ 25 3219 PREVIEW GUIDE In addition to the new Convert to Polyline option in the SPLINEDIT command, you can use the updated PEDIT command to select a Spline object and automatically convert it to a polyline. After selecting the spline and confirming that "Yes" you really do want to convert it, you can specify the precision between 0 and 99. Figure 42. Spline to polyline precision To further control the accuracy when converting splines to polylines, you can use the new PLINECONVERTMODE variable to specify the fit method. When PLINECONVERTMODE is set to 0, polylines are created with linear segments. When it's set to 1 (the default), polylines are created with arc segments. Spline Pline Precision=2 Plineconvertmode=0 Pline Precision=2 Plineconvertmode=1 Figure 43. Pline conversion mode The DELOBJ variable has been updated to support the PEDIT and SPLINEDIT commands. If you're not familiar with the DELOBJ variable, it was introduced as a way to control whether geometry used to create 3D objects (profiles, paths, etc) is retained or deleted. It is typically accessed via the 3D Modeling tab of the Options dialog box. [. . . ] Convert Mesh tools Customize Customize and configure AutoCAD 2010 in ways you never thought possible. Customizing AutoCAD to meet your unique needs is easier than you ever thought possible. Configure your settings, extend the software, build custom workflows, develop your own application, or leverage one already built. Some think you have to choose between flexibility and power. [. . . ]
