Several additional key-ins can be used to control
how the tool works:
CONSGEOM SET SHOWALTSOLUTIONS
<OFF | ON> — If set to ON (the default), and a constraint snap
is used, the tool displays all possible sizes and orientations of the element
that would satisfy the snap. The proposed element nearest the pointer location
is shown in normal symbology, while other possibilities are shown as dashed in
muted color.
CONSGEOM SET CONTINUEARCS
[OFF | ON] — If set to ON, when you finish placing an arc by edge,
the tool restarts by automatically adopting the last point placed as the start
point on the next arc. AccuDraw will be oriented to be tangent to the previous
arc. The default value for this setting is OFF.
CONSGEOM SET DYNAMICREVERSE
[OFF | ON] — (Direction disabled only) If set to ON (the default),
the sweep direction reverses automatically whenever the pointer crosses over
the line from the center to the start point.
CONSGEOM SET
SHOWFEASIBLEREGION [OFF | ON] — If set to ON (the default), a dashed
red line or circle shows where the pointer can move. If it moves outside of
this area, a heavy line weight red X displays, indicating that the arc cannot
be completed at this location.
CONSGEOM CONSTRAIN
ARCCHORDHEIGHT [LOCK | SET <value>|UNLOCK] — Specifies the
distance from the start-end point chord to the peak of the arc. This can be
used as an alternative means of defining the arc when the start and end points
of the arc are known. It can also be used to define the sweep, given radius, or
vice versa.
CONSGEOM CONSTRAIN
ARCSECTORAREA [LOCK | SET <value>|UNLOCK] — Specifies the area
of the sector of the circle that is defined by the arc. That is
sweep/360*pi*r2. This can be used to define the sweep, given the
radius, or vice versa. The value must be specified in square master units only.
