To switch between edit behaviors, navigate to Edit> Edit Behaviors. When this mode is active, the icon above will follow the mouse pointer. For example, you can resize an irregularly shaped polyline so that each edge is exactly ten feet in from the original position, which is useful for creating site plans with setbacks. The Concentric edit behavior mode allows you to resize objects so that the distance moved by each edge is the same. For example, you can resize an object to 50% of its original size while maintaining the same proportions. As you drag a corner edit handle of an object, you get an exactly scaled version of the original. The Resize edit behavior mode allows you to rescale an object. The Move edit behavior mode allows you to move an object using edit handles that would otherwise be used for resizing, as well as with the Move handle. The Alternate edit behavior is the second primary edit behavior mode, with the first being the Default. To toggle Angle Snaps on and off, navigate to Edit> Snap Settings> Angle Snaps. Because drawing at regular angles is extremely important, when Angle Snaps are disabled, the icon above will follow the mouse pointer. You can specify the Angle Snap increment in the General Plan Defaults. They also affect the way objects rotate, the radius of arcs, and a variety of other operations. In this article, we will describe the various icons that may appear and how to control them.Īngle Snaps allow you to draw walls, lines, and other objects at specified Allowed Angles. Persistent icons that follow your mouse pointer may indicate an uncommon setting is enabled or disabled, an edit behavior other than the Default is selected, the structure or the terrain in the plan needs to be rebuilt, or an object, such as a wall, is not connecting properly or is at an irregular angle.
