CHAPTER 11 'FORMWORK' 72 Distance : With this option you can find the distance between any two points in your drawing. How to use : 1. You activate the "DISPLAY >>Distance" option. 2. Use the left mouse button to indicate the first point which from now on will be considered the starting point for distance calculation. 3. Select the second point whose distance you want to find in relation to the first. If you do not cancel the command with the right mouse button or if you do not activate the same or another command again, you can continue to indicate second, third and so on points to calculate their distance from the initial one. The distance and the projections of the imaginary line segment connecting the two points on the x and z axes are displayed in the third field in the top status bar, to the right of the x and z coordinate fields. Area-frame : The area of an area enclosed by a continuous closed line (pline) is calculated. The value of the area is given in m2 and is displayed ¨E=........¨ in the upper status bar, in the third field to the right of of the active color. (Point with the left mouse button to the pline after activating the command "INSERT >> Area >> Lines")) With the command "Area >> Lines" command calculates the area of areas defined by pline, Circles, Rings, Polygons (inscribed or circumscribed) and Arcs (circular segments). If you request an area calculation for an area enclosed by an open pline, the program will calculate the area assuming that the line is closed by the line segment connecting the beginning and end of the pline. Area-Area : Here you calculate the area of an area, the vertices of which you select with the mouse. By pointing to the last vertex, WITHOUT pressing the mouse button, its area is displayed in the same position as in "Line area".
