5.5.5 Summary of Drawing Tools


Button	Data input	Output	Sample
Line	Start point and distance/ bearing for each side	Defined line
Line (+ copies)	Same as above, + number of copies right and up, with distances, rotation is possible	Multiple lines
Copy line	Line digitized earlier at correct location (as points), number of copies right and up, with distances, rotation is possible	Multiple lines
Continue line (relative)	2 points which define line, and angle/length of continuation	Line
Continue line (absolute to N)	2 points which define line, and bearing/length of continuation	Line
Continue line:arc	2 points which define line, and angle/radius of continuation arc	Line with arc
Continue line:arc	With backoffset: points which define line, and angle/radius of continuation arc	Line with arc
90 degrees angles	2 points	90 degrees off two points


Split line into equal legs	Line (as points) and length of each ‘leg’ (or number of ‘legs’)	Equally cut line (with markers)
90 degrees lines from split line	Line (as points) and length of each ‘leg’ (or number of ‘legs’) and length of perpendicular lines	Equally cut line (with markers) with perpendicular lines
90 degrees lines from split line		Equally cut line (with markers) with perpendicular lines, to one side
Parcel	Start point and distance/ bearing for each side	Defined parcel (polygon)
Parcel (+ copies)	Same as above, + number of copies right and up, with distances, rotation is possible	Multiple parcels
Rectangular parcel	Start point and width/height of rectangular parcel	Defined rectangular parcel (polygon)
Rectangular parcel (+ copies)	Same as above, + number of copies right and up, with distances, rotation is possible (rotation angle applies both to shape of rectangle and copy process)	Multiple rectangular parcels


Insert planning scheme template	Predefined template	Template at specified location
Parcels from split line	Line (as points) and length of each ‘leg’ (or number of ‘legs’) and width of parcels at the line	Equally cut line (with markers) with attached parcels
Mirror	Points or line or polygon as points, and axis to mirror on	Mirrored points or line or polygon
Prolong	4 points, defining 2 lines	Intersection point of these 2 lines
Arc (from centre and start)	Centre point, start point and optionally degrees of arc	Line centre to start point, and arc
Arc (from 3 points)	3 points, defining an arc	Arc
Tangent	3 points, defining an arc, and length of lines up and down from tangent point	Line
Junction arc	3 points: 1st must be at junction, 2nd and 3rd define direction of lines, plus offset	Arc
