Work with High Precision Drawing Tools

Create & modify drawings with high accuracy

1
00:00:02,580 –> 00:00:09,230
ARES Touch offers you all the professional tools to create or modify drawings with high accuracy.

2
00:00:09,500 –> 00:00:13,260
Hold your finger on the screen when a drawing command is in use,

3
00:00:13,560 –> 00:00:17,540
and the Loupe will pop up to help you SNAP to points.

4
00:00:18,140 –> 00:00:21,851
The SNAP is like a magnet to select points with precision.

5
00:00:22,280 –> 00:00:26,740
Entity snap types can be defined from the Application Menu.

6
00:00:26,980 –> 00:00:32,540
If you don’t need accuracy you can also simply tap the screen to pick points.

7
00:00:32,860 –> 00:00:36,960
The options bar displays similar options as on the desktop.

8
00:00:37,220 –> 00:00:39,760
You can for example CLOSE the polyline.

9
00:00:40,20 –> 00:00:44,660
In the Action bar on the top, you will find the shortcut to Repeat the last command.

Use tracking along with snap and loupe command

10
00:00:44,920 –> 00:00:48,640
Besides using the snap and the loupe you may also use tracking.

11
00:00:48,940 –> 00:00:53,59
Just fly over a point and pause for a second without releasing your finger.

12
00:00:53,540 –> 00:00:55,800
Then, continue vertically or horizontally

13
00:00:56,120 –> 00:01:00,580
and you will see a construction line helping you to find a point along this line.

14
00:01:00,920 –> 00:01:03,460
You may have noticed an icon close to the loupe.

Using the SNAP Mode

15
00:01:03,680 –> 00:01:09,60
Keep your finger on the screen to display the loupe but use another finger to press this “Input button”.

16
00:01:09,220 –> 00:01:14,860
Chose “Absolute” for coordinates from the origin or “Relative” for coordinates from the last point.

17
00:01:14,960 –> 00:01:22,59
Chose “Cartesian” to enter X, Y, Z coordinates or “Polar” if you like to enter a length and angle.

18
00:01:22,240 –> 00:01:26,979
When you’re done just tap on the green tick on the right or use the red cross to Cancel.

19
00:01:27,120 –> 00:01:32,920
On the right of the Input bar, you will also find some SNAP options to override the default SNAP settings

20
00:01:33,80 –> 00:01:35,220
defined from the Application menu.

21
00:01:35,500 –> 00:01:39,820
This allows you to select a specific Entity SNAP mode for the next point.

22
00:01:40,120 –> 00:01:45,440
This list gives you also a sense of all the SNAP settings that are supported by ARES Touch.
