| If you're working with ORTHOMODE off
(use the F8 key to toggle), you can temporarily constrain movement to the orthogonal
directions by holding down the Shift key. If
you're drawing a new object, such as a line, in IntelliCAD, you can use the Shift key to
constrain movement to the X or Y axis. Likewise if you're moving or copying an existing
object, holding the Shift key restricts movement.
Holding down the Shift key when copying
this line restricts movement to the X or Y axis.
This holds true even if you've rotated the drawing
axis. Try rotating your crosshairs 45º by entering UCS Z 45 at the command prompt. Notice
how the Shift key now maintains orthogonal movement relative to the axis rotation. |
