The Mouse Gesture is a way of combining pointing
device movements and clicks
which DraftSight™ recognizes as a specific command. Mouse gestures
can provide
quick access to common functions of a program. They can also be
useful for people
who have difficulties typing commands.
> Customizing your
user environment to increase productivity is key for
any proficient
user. With DraftSight, you can
create your own custom toolbars as a way of
increasing your productivity by grouping commonly used commands
into one specific
tool bar.

Community Tips & Tricks

Flip Command Tip
Use the Flip command to create a
mirror copy of entities,
deleting the source entities. The command contrasts to
the Mirror command in that entities do not remain in their
original positions when they move across the mirror axis.
Instead they maintain the same relative position to the
symmetry axis, but flip about the specified mirror axis.
You can define the reflection axis freely by specifying two
points. Use ortho mode to force the mirror line to be
parallel to the X- or the Y-axis of the coordinate system.
To flip drawing entities type Flip at the command prompt.
>
Copy@ Tip
Use the Copy@ command to copy selected
entities and
a reference point from the drawing onto the Windows®
clipboard. From the clipboard, you can paste the entities
into open drawings using the Paste and PasteAsBlock
commands. The entities selected with Copy@ remain on
the clipboard until you place new entities on the clipboard.
Note: The Copy command copies entities in the drawing
from a specified base point to target points within the
drawing, but not to the clipboard.
To copy to the clipboard with a reference point: Click Edit >
Copy with Reference Point (or type Copy@).
