Editing existing objects in 2D

 

There is a frequent need for changes or additions to objects in geometric modelling. Statistics state that modifying of existing objects lasts around 70% time of the total time invested in objects' modelling. A huge number of methods were developed to allow users to make even bigger modifications in short time frame.

 

This chapter covers various technics for modifications of 2D objects:

-  Selecting objects for editing

-  Erasing (ERASE)

-  Cutting and pasting (CUT OBJECT)

-  Copying (COPY OBJECT)

-  Bringing an object in front or setting an object back

-  Moving (MOVE)
