00:00:06,930 –> 00:00:10,530
ARES commander edition 2014

3
00:00:10,530 –> 00:00:13,920
introduces new features for rich line editing

4
00:00:13,920 –> 00:00:17,939
let’s examine how these intelligent lines can now be edited

5
00:00:17,939 –> 00:00:23,109
in the command line, we can use the command Rich line or use the drop-down

6
00:00:23,109 –> 00:00:24,519
that appears in the ribbon

7
00:00:24,519 –> 00:00:28,320
here in the drawer group the Home tab

8
00:00:28,320 –> 00:00:32,759
Riichline can draw a parallel lines by default

9
00:00:32,759 –> 00:00:37,230
this standard style of working ARES is designed to create

10
00:00:37,230 –> 00:00:41,220
to parallel lines let’s select to command Richline

Drawing intersection of lines

11
00:00:41,220 –> 00:00:47,900
and will draw an intersection of these lines, a double click on any Richline

12
00:00:47,900 –> 00:00:51,480
opens a dialog edit richlines

13
00:00:51,480 –> 00:00:55,250
enabling you to create intersections in different ways

14
00:00:55,250 –> 00:00:58,390
as shown in the preview box for example we choose

15
00:00:58,390 –> 00:01:01,930
merch Tee switch from across 280

16
00:01:01,930 –> 00:01:05,459
we press okay click on a richline

17
00:01:05,459 –> 00:01:08,759
and then on the second one this rich line editor

18
00:01:08,760 –> 00:01:12,390
is also available from the Modify group in the home tech

19
00:01:12,390 –> 00:01:16,90
the actual command is called

Creating Custom Richline Style

20
00:01:16,90 –> 00:01:20,330
edit Richline to create a custom Richline style

21
00:01:20,330 –> 00:01:24,850
we go to the application select options

22
00:01:24,850 –> 00:01:30,9
under drafting style go to the richline section we click

23
00:01:30,10 –> 00:01:34,550
on the new button to create a new style we’ll call it

24
00:01:34,550 –> 00:01:38,940
wall dividing shortened as W_dividing

25
00:01:38,940 –> 00:01:42,929
let’s

26
00:01:42,930 –> 00:01:48,560
add a third line click new, 0

27
00:01:48,560 –> 00:01:54,390
will be the center of the richline, while top and bottom values for our

28
00:01:54,390 –> 00:01:55,200
Richline

29
00:01:55,200 –> 00:02:02,60
are the following: here we change the color of the midline

30
00:02:02,60 –> 00:02:05,710
and press okay

31
00:02:05,710 –> 00:02:11,510
select the command Richline in the command line

32
00:02:11,510 –> 00:02:17,190
write St to choose style among the options offered by ARES

33
00:02:17,190 –> 00:02:20,890
confirmed by enter EntityName

34
00:02:20,890 –> 00:02:24,119
after desired style W_dividing

35
00:02:24,120 –> 00:02:31,120
and pressed enter again and here’s our new richline

36
00:02:32,459 –> 00:02:35,459
now I’ll draw three Richline intersections

37
00:02:35,459 –> 00:02:42,459
I double click on a richline

38
00:02:42,550 –> 00:02:45,680
which opens the edit richlines dialouge

39
00:02:45,680 –> 00:02:48,840
I select the first option open Tee

40
00:02:48,840 –> 00:02:52,720
to generate a Tee from across look carefully

41
00:02:52,720 –> 00:02:59,130
at the midline up the rich the midline

42
00:02:59,130 –> 00:03:02,530
ends when it reaches the first segment up the other

43
00:03:02,530 –> 00:03:07,790
Richline now I choose the second option

44
00:03:07,790 –> 00:03:10,980
close tee in this case

45
00:03:10,980 –> 00:03:16,10
the first Richline is interrupted work reaches the other line which in turn

46
00:03:16,10 –> 00:03:16,660
shows

47
00:03:16,660 –> 00:03:22,750
as continuous now we try the third option Merge Tee

48
00:03:22,750 –> 00:03:27,80
unlike the first option ,the midline continues

49
00:03:27,80 –> 00:03:34,80
until it finds its matching line, the forth option

50
00:03:34,350 –> 00:03:39,340
called open cross solves the intersection as if we use

51
00:03:39,340 –> 00:03:44,120
trim for the exterior lines, note that the midline

52
00:03:44,120 –> 00:03:48,40
up the first Richline is now cut, the fifth option

53
00:03:48,40 –> 00:03:51,590
called closed cross gives priority

54
00:03:51,590 –> 00:03:55,230
to keep the second Richline we selected continues

55
00:03:55,230 –> 00:03:58,609
now

56
00:03:58,610 –> 00:04:02,690
let’s meet the sixth option called merge cross which makes

57
00:04:02,690 –> 00:04:07,40
junction where middle lines cross each other that’s the

58
00:04:07,40 –> 00:04:10,650
only difference between merge cross and

59
00:04:10,650 –> 00:04:13,810
open cross, in this new example double-click

60
00:04:13,810 –> 00:04:16,978
on the richline, I select

61
00:04:16,978 –> 00:04:21,510
add vertex, I click to add new vertices

62
00:04:21,510 –> 00:04:25,430
in richline, by selecting the richline

63
00:04:25,430 –> 00:04:31,510
we see new group appearing diesel hours to change the shape of the richline

64
00:04:31,510 –> 00:04:38,450
without redrawing the entity, the seventh option

65
00:04:38,450 –> 00:04:41,900
called Delete Vertex helps to remove vertices

66
00:04:41,900 –> 00:04:46,700
its this example

67
00:04:46,700 –> 00:04:52,520
rich lines are crossing and we use the corner joint option to create a corner

68
00:04:52,520 –> 00:04:55,719
the behavior is similar to a fill it command

69
00:04:55,720 –> 00:04:59,30
when applied to lines

70
00:04:59,30 –> 00:05:02,380
or poly with radius and distances

71
00:05:02,380 –> 00:05:09,380
equal to 0, now let’s discover the single cut option which allows cuts

72
00:05:11,510 –> 00:05:18,510
within segments belonging to a richline, the cut all options

73
00:05:21,810 –> 00:05:25,880
allows cuts in effect all segments up the rich line at once

74
00:05:25,880 –> 00:05:30,830
as if we were preparing an opening

75
00:05:30,830 –> 00:05:34,70
to accomodate a door
76
00:05:34,70 –> 00:05:37,409
finally we will use the weld all option to merge segments

77
00:05:37,409 –> 00:05:44,409
so

78
00:05:44,539 –> 00:05:47,890
repinned true all the editing possibilities for rich lights

79
00:05:47,890 –> 00:05:51,550
you can see how easy it is to create new custom styles

80
00:05:51,550 –> 00:05:54,729
