Switches between Rectangular and Polar coordinates
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
Enter
Smart Lock• In Rectangular coordinates, locks X to 0 if the pointer is on the drawing plane y-axis or Y to 0 if the pointer is on the x-axis.• In Polar coordinates, locks Angle to 0°, 90°, -90°, or 180° if the pointer is on a drawing plane axis or otherwise locks Distance to its last entered value.
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
o
Moves the drawing plane origin to the current pointer position.
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
v
Rotate drawing plane to align with the view axes. Pressing this key a second time restores context-sensitive rotation.
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
t
Rotate the drawing plane to align with the axes in a standard Top view. Pressing this key a second time restores context-sensitive rotation.
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
f
Rotate the drawing plane to align with the axes in a standard Front view. Pressing this key a second time restores context-sensitive rotation.
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
s
Rotate the drawing plane to align with the axes in a standard Side view. Pressing this key a second time restores context-sensitive rotation.
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
b
Rotate the drawing plane to align with the active ACS, or if you set up a rotation in the dialog, it will return you to that rotation. In a new file (where you haven’t used an ACS yet) it will be the rotation of the view.
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
r, c
Rotate the drawing plane to the current ACS.
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
e
Rotate between three planes: top, front, and side (3D only). This also works when your original plane is an ACS or context rotation, so you do not have to use RX, RY to rotate to a 90° plane.
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
r, e
Rotate the drawing plane to match the orientation of a selected element.
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
r, v
Rotate the active view to match the current drawing plane.
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
r, x
Rotate the drawing plane 90° about its x-axis
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
r, y
Rotate the drawing plane 90° about its y-axis
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
r, q
Quickly and temporarily rotate the drawing plane.
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
r, z
Rotate the drawing plane 90° about its z-axis
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
x
Toggle the lock status for the X value.
What do these AccuDraw keystrokes do?
r, a
Permanently rotate the drawing plane. Because it rotates the current ACS, this rotation will still be active after the tool in use is exited. If on, the tool setting Use Current Origin causes the drawing plane origin to be used as the x-axis origin, thereby eliminating the need to enter an extra data point. Of course, in many cases it is desirable to be able to define the x-axis origin at a different location than the drawing plane origin.
