Fig. 5.34 Examples - Stretch

N o t e s

1. When circles are windowed with the crossing window no stretching
can take place. This is why, in the case of the fi rst example in
Fig. 5.33, when the second point of displacement was picked , there
was no result - the outline did not stretch.

2. Care must be taken when using this tool as unwanted stretching can
occur ( Fig. 5.34 ).

The Break tool

Examples - Break ( Fig. 5.36 )

1. Construct the rectangle, arc and circle (Fig. 5.36).
2. Call Break - either click on its tool icon in the Home/Modify panel
( Fig. 5.35 ), click Break in the Modify drop-down menu or enter br or
break at the command line, which shows:
