4.1 INTRODUCTION
°
So far, we have learned four drawing commands (
Line
,
Arc
,
Circle
, and
Pline
).
These alone can only help you accomplish 20% of your drawing.
Also, if you think that each and every line (or arc, or circle) should be drawn
by you, you are wrong!
In this chapter, we will discuss seven commands that will help us construct
the most diffi cult drawings in no time.
These commands are:
The
Offset
command creates parallel copies of your original objects.
The
Fillet
command allows you to close unclosed shapes either by
extending the two ends to an intersecting point or by using an arc.
The
Chamfer
command is exactly the same as the
Fillet
command,
except this command will create a slanted edge.
The
Trim
command allows some objects to act as cutting edges for other
objects to be trimmed.
The
Extend
command allows you to extend objects to a boundary.
