Simple entities include lines (both finite and infinite), circles, arcs, ellipses, elliptical arcs, points, and rays. In addition, IntelliCAD® 2001 includes a freehand sketch tool. Entities drawn freehand are also considered to be simple entities.
This section explains how to create simple entities using the different ways that you can start the drawing command for each, including how to:
When you use a tool or a drawing command, the program prompts you to enter coordinate points, such as endpoints or insertion points. You can enter the points or distances either using a mouse or by typing coordinate values at the command prompt. As you draw, IntelliCAD also displays a context-sensitive prompt box with appropriate additional options for the type of entity you are drawing.
After you create entities, you can modify them using the entity modification tools.
