Element Editing Commands

Special commands for editing particular types of created elements are available in the T-FLEX CAD. Such commands can be found in the Edit item of the textual menu divided into following groups:

•Construction
This group contains commands for editing 2D (2D construction, Node, Fixing vector) and 3D construction elements (Workplane, Worksurface, 3D Node, 3D Profile, 3D Path, Route, Section, LCS, Light Source, Camera).

•Draw
This group contains commands for editing 2D elements. Elements might be located either on a drawing page or on a workplane.

•Operations
This group contains commands for editing 3D modeling operations.

 

Each particular command is described in chapters describing a particular type of elements.
Depending on the set of available options, editing commands can be divided in two groups:

•2D elements editing commands;

•3D elements editing commands.

In addition to commands dedicated to editing a particular type of 3D operations, there's a common commands for editing all types of 3D operations. Common command shares the same set of options with type-specific commands; the only difference is the elements selection filters.

 

Commands mentioned above could be used for editing a single element or multiple elements at once. Specifics of using editing commands with multiple selected 2D elements are described in the Multiple 2D Elements Editing section.

 

In most cases, the key sequence for calling a 3D element's editing command differs from the respective creation command by just one letter “E” (Edit). Examples: “3N” – “3EN” – these are commands to construct and edit a 3D node, “3X”– “3EX” – the commands to create and edit an extrusion operation. Icons of editing commands differ from icons of respective creation commands in the added scissors symbol .
