Blockscale <

Blockscale <

This command scales the size of selected blocks in all directions. It is particularly suitable for scaling LINEAR symbols in your drawing when these are already connected to pipes. When executing the BlockVaria < command, these pipes are also moved. This means that when you, for example, want to reduce the size of all symbols on your drawing by half, all pipes will still be correctly connected even after the reduction..

Replace Block <

This function allows you very easily replace, for example, all wash stand blocks for LINEAR CAD symbols that you can subsequently use in the LINEAR Analyse programs.

Level Out <

This command is used to set the Z coordinate values of all selected drawing elements to a new common Z value.

Adjust Crosshair Angle<

This command allows the crosshair to be set in adjustable angular degrees, similarly to setting the title block on a conventional drafting machine. The UCS will not be changed in the process. You can specify the angle in degrees or percent by entering a number, show the zero line through two points or align the crosshair to an object in the drawing.

Tip: With the crosshairs rotated accordingly and ortho mode enabled, you can easily draw right-angled lines.

Numerical input of the angle is set by default after activating the command. You can switch to other options for setting the crosshair angle by entering the following in the command line and then confirming:

Entry Option
S

Show

Defines the rotation of the crosshairs by specifying two points in the drawing.
Slo

Slope

Defines the rotation of the crosshairs by entering a slope or gradient as a percentage.
O

Object

Defines the rotation of the crosshairs by selecting an object in the drawing. Select an object in the drawing (e.g. a line) to which the crosshairs should be aligned.

C

Connection

Defines the rotation of the crosshairs by selecting a component connection in the drawing. Select a component connection in the drawing to which the crosshairs are to be aligned.
Tip: To rotate the crosshairs back to the normal position, start the command again and enter the angle 0.

Multiple Explode <

Use this command to resolve nested block definitions in a single step. When resolving objects, the type of the object determines the properties that can be changed, such as layer type, line weight and color. For blocks which contain attributes, the attribute values are deleted and the attribute definitions are displayed.
