general
|
The pressed <Alt>-key
avoids working off the link update. No updates due to modifications are carried
out. You can e.g. use this function to move parts without causing a reaction of
the connected parts
|
Render Export
|
After the parts for Render-Export
have been selected, a standard file name is used. The <Alt>-key
permits file name selection.
|
Object View
|
The object view first creates a
non-aligned view on the part. Alignment is made via <Enter>-button. If
you press the <Alt>-key at selection of view direction, an aligned
view will be directly created.
|
Free View
|
This is not carried out using
Clipping. If the <Alt>-key is pressed, the global clipping distances
will be used.
|
tentative snap
|
A pressed <Alt>-key
during Object Snap selection inserts the reference points as well, if existing.
|
Handrail
|
At shape selection, the
selection of the previous type can be taken over if you keep the
<Alt>-key pressed while selecting the shape class (post, hand rail,
knee-high guard rail, etc.). The same function is valid at modification of
shape status, i.e. whether the corresponding shape is used or not.
|
Edit Drill Holes
|
At modification of drill holes,
you can cancel the blocking of bolt fields by means of the <Alt>-key.
These then can be deleted as well. Use this option carefully!
|
Truss Girders
|
Same function as for the
selection of handrail shapes.
|
Lattice Girders
|
Same function as for the selection of handrail
shapes.
At insertion, the lattice girder is created with
the entered width. The <Alt>-key creates a frame with the width of the
entered points.
|
Select View
|
At Select View command,
double-clicking on it activates the selected view. The <Alt>-key only
moves to the corresponding UCS.
|
Hangar Frame
|
At insertion, the frame is
created with the entered width. The <Alt>-key creates a frame with the
width of the entered points.
|
Haunch
|
If you press the <Alt>-key while
seizing the connection shape, a ceiling joist is carried out.
If you press the <Alt>-key while
seizing the supporting shape, the plate thicknesses are adapted to the
supporting shape.
|
Ladder
|
The <Alt>-key causes
that the ladder length is calculated from the third point.
|
Insert Shapes
|
If you choose Select Position, a
pick into the drawing causes a rotation by 90°. The <Alt>-key causes a
rotation by -90°.
|
Stiffeners
|
If you keep the
<Alt>-key pressed during selection, the program is forced to an input
via angles.
|
Copy
|
At selection via menu points
instead of via dialog, the <Alt>-key causes a conversion of the
setting, whether the operation is valid for group or not.
|
Working Areas
|
Activating one of the three list
fields for distances permits comfortable input of the distances. If the
<Ctrl>-key is pressed, the existing distances are deleted.
|
Line Cut
|
Pressing the <Alt>-key
at selection causes not only a cut but, if need be, an adaptation, too.
|
Connect
|
Pressing the <Alt>-key
at selection of the second shape avoids type check and everything is connected.
|
ArcShape
|
Osnap and Center: The
<Alt>-key causes that the endpoints can be seized as well.
|
Bolt
handless
|
If a bolt is modified using its
handles, the <Alt>-key causes
that the endpoints can be moved freely in space, otherwise only in bolt
direction.
|
Purlin Connect
|
If the frame is modified, moving
of the
handles along a line causes the movement
of the line without modifying the size. If the<Alt>-key is pressed,
the line is moved and the size is modified depending on the neighbouring lines.
|
Plate
handless
|
Same effects as purlin connection
object.
|
Shape
|
Osnap and Center. The
<Alt>-key causes that the endpoints can be seized as well.
|
2D Detail
|
In groups, the movement of an
accessory part doesn’t cause new drawing of the main part. The modification
will only be visible after regeneration. Pressing the <Alt>-key forces
re-structuring of the group even without regeneration.
|
handles
|
For shapes, you can specify
whether the length modification has only to be effected in shape direction or
freely. Using the <Alt>-key turns this setting upside down.
