DWG FastView auxiliary display

Table of Contents

Point marker

It indicates the position of current point. When specifying a point by tapping or dragging, as the finger lifting, the point marker appears.
You could drag point marker to adjust its position.

Coordinate marker

Tapping on coordinate marker, it displays the X values and Y values of current point. You could also change them to adjust the point position.
In Settings, the coordinate marker hides while “Keypad” is off.

Magnifier

When editing a drawing, you can open a magnifier by touching(staying more than 0.5s) the drawing area. The magnifier can display the magnified graph of touched area. It is a convenient way for users to view details and snap objects.
In Settings, the coordinate marker hides while “Keypad” is off.
You could set the magnifier position in Settings.
Left: the magnifier displays on the left.
Right: the magnifier displays on the right.
Follow: magnifier follows the movement of the finger.
The magnifier size could also be changed according to Settings. The magnifier disappears while finger lifting.

Snap

In the new version, Endpoint, Midpoint, Center, Node, Quadrant, Intersection Insertion, Perpendicular, Tangent, Nearest are available.
In the drawing area, when specifying a point or executing a command, it will snap points selected in Snap Mode automatically. It will displays markers while snapped as shown in the picture:

The endpoint has been snapped, and it displays with a green box labeled.
In the new version, Object Snap Tracking and Polar Tracking are also available.

Auxiliaries

Auxiliary point:
When drafting, stretching a pinch, or moving an object, auxiliary points will temporarily appear at snapped points.
It automatically generates auxiliary lines between two points in horizontal and vertical directions to accurately confirm the point position.
Auxiliary line:
The following lines or frames are all auxiliary lines:
While drafting, it generates temporarily dimension lines and extension lines on new created object.
When selecting objects, all selected objects are surrounded by a rectangle frame.
For object snap tracking, it automatically generates lines between two points in horizontal and vertical directions.
During the process of editing objects, the temporarily auxiliary lines help display directions or distances.
And other conditions.
Auxiliary parameter:
When drafting or editing, it displays related auxiliary parameters, such as length, angle, diameter, and so on.

Keypad

Input by keypad

Polar coordinates:

Definition: it defines a polar coordinate position by a length and an angle value.

Keypad:

For example:
Create a square inclined 45 degrees by polar coordinates.
Operations:
Click the “Draw” button and select “Polyline” command;

tap or drag on screen to specify the first endpoint of square;
Input the polar coordinates: length is 8.5, and angle is 45, and then tap “+” in keypad for next point;
enter the polar coordinates: length is 8.5, and angle is 315, and then tap “+” in keypad for next point;
Input the polar coordinates: length is 8.5, and angle is 225, and then tap “Close” keyword behind command prompts to close the square as shown below:

Relative coordinates:

Definition: it defines a point with a relative position of last entered coordinates in drawing area by entering the X increment and Y increment.

Keypad:

For example:
Create a square with a side length of 8.5 by relative coordinates.
Operations:

Click the "Draw" button and select “Polyline” command;
tap or drag on screen to specify the first endpoint of square;
Input the relative coordinates of the second point: 8.5 and 0, and then tap “+” in keypad for next point;
enter the relative coordinates of the third point: 0 and 8.5, and then tap “+” in keypad for next point;
Input the relative coordinates of the forth point: -8.5and 0, and then tap “Close” keyword behind command prompts to close the square as shown below:

Keywords

Keywords display behind command prompts.
It displays different keywords in different steps.
Taking polyline command for example, after specifying the first point, it displays "Arc" and “Cancel” keywords; after specifying the third point, it displays five keywords: “Arc”, “Undo”, “Close”, “Cancel”, and “Ok”.

Switches while editing

Parameter editing

Tap to enter parameter editing state. In parameter editing state, you could change related parameters according to the selected object. Such as length or angle for a selected line; radius for a selected circle.

Pinch editing

Tap to enter pinch editing state. You could stretch one of their pinches to change the shape of selected object.

Simple editing

Tap to enter simple editing state. In this state, you could stretch one of their pinches to scale selected object, or move the Move icon in the center to move it, or drag the Rotate icon on the right to change its direction.

Center unlocked

When editing an arc, it displays “Center Unlocked” by default. The start point and endpoint of arc are fixed. You could adjust the arc by modifying its radius and central angle.

Center locked

Tap “Center Unlocked” icon and switch to “Center locked” state. The arc center is fixed. You could adjust the arc by modifying its radius, start angle, and end angle.

Record result

This button displays on the top right of measurement pannel. Tap on it to save measure result to list.
In settings, if the “Auto Record” is turned on, the measure result could also be automatically recorded. Its default mode is off.
