Figure 165: Geometry Object Toolbar

Point: Creates a point by clicking the left mouse button at the desired position in the View 2D.

Line: Creates a straight line defined by a start and end point: Click the left mouse button at the desired start position in the View 2D. Move the mouse to the desired end position and click the left mouse button again.

Rectangle: Creates a rectangle in two steps: Click the left mouse button at the desired position of the left upper corner in the View 2D. Move the mouse while keeping the left mouse button pressed to the desired position of the right lower corner and release the left mouse button. To change the geometry of the rectangle after its creation see the chapter Rectangle. To change the position and/or the orientation of the rectangle see the chapter View 2D → Manipulation of objects.

Triangle: Creates a triangle that is defined by its three corners: Click the left mouse button at the desired position of first corner in the View 2D. Click the left mouse button at the desired position of second corner. Click the left mouse button at the desired position of third corner. To change the position and/or the orientation of the triangle see the chapter View 2D → Manipulation of objects.

Ellipse: Creates an ellipse: Click the left mouse button at the desired position in the View 2D. Move the mouse while keeping the left mouse button pressed until the ellipse has the requested size. To change the geometry of the ellipse's after its creation see the chapter Ellipse. To change the position and/or the orientation of the ellipse see the chapter View 2D → Manipulation of objects.

Circle - 3 Points: Creates a circle out of 3 Points. Click the left mouse button at three desired positions one after another in the View 2D. Change the circle by moving those three contact points. Change the segment count within the Geometry Property Page.

Circle - Center Radius: Creates a circle out of two Points: the center of the circle and one point which is an element of circle. Click left mouse button at the two desired positions one after another in the View 2D. Change the circle by moving those two contact points. Change the segment count within the Geometry Property Page.

Arc - 3 Points: Creates an arc out of 3 Points which are elements of the arc. Click the left mouse button at the three desired positions one after another in the View 2D. Change the arc by moving those three contact points. Change the segment count within Geometry Property Page.

Arc - Center Angle: Creates an arc out of 3 Points: the center of the arc and two points which are element of the arc and define the beginning and the end of the arc. Click the left mouse button at the three desired positions one after another in the View 2D. Change the arc by moving those three contact points. Change the segment count within Geometry Property Page.

Spiral: Creates a Spiral by clicking the left mouse button at the desired position in the View 2D.

Polyline: Creates a PolyLine defined by a sequence of points: Click successively the left mouse button at the desired positions in the View 2D to generate a sequence of points. To finish the sequence click the right mouse button and choose one operation of the provided two operations "Finish" or "Close&Finish". To change the position and/or the orientation of the Polyline see the chapter View 2D → Manipulation of objects.

Select: Switch to entity select mode. See chapter View 2D → Selection.

Point Editing: Switch to point editing mode. See chapter Entity List → Point Editor.
