X-Solids Commands

To launch an X-Solid command you can either click the tool buttons on the X-Solid toolbars, choose the commands in the X-Solids menus or key-in the command in the command bar. The XDIA command can suppress X-Solids command dialogs and thus force command-line interpretation .

X-Solids tools

Icon	Tool name	Keyboard	Description
	Polar array	xarrayp	Creates a polar array of solids by copying and rotating a selected solid about an axis.
	Rectangular array	xarrayr	Creates an array of solids by copying a selected solid in a rectangular pattern.
	Box	xbox	Creates a three-dimensional solid box.
	Chamfer	xchamfer	Bevels edges of a solid.
	Cone	xcone	Creates a three-dimensional solid cone.
	Solids command center	xcsolids	Accesses the most-commonly used X-Solids solid creation and modification functions.
	UCS command center	xcucs	Accesses the X-Solids UCS capabilities, to pick, define or recall UCS settings.
	Cut	xcut	Cuts 3D solids using 2D profiles as cutting tools.
	View command center	xcview	Accesses the X-Solids View capabilities, to pick, define or recall View and Viewport settings.
	Cylinder	xcylinder	Creates a three-dimensional solid cylinder.
	Dialog	xdia	Suppresses X-Solids command dialogs and thus force command-line interpretation
	Explode	xexplode	Breaks a solid down into face or wireframe entities.
	Extract	xextract	Extracts a copy of a face or edge of a solid, or an edge of a region as a separate entity.
	Extrude	xextrude	Creates a three-dimensional solid by extruding 2D objects.
	Fillet	xfillet	Rounds edges of a solid.
	Intersect	xintersect	Creates a solid by intersecting two or more solids.
	List	xlist	Displays the CSG tree of selected X-Solids solids, in one of two textual formats.
	Offset	xoffset	Creates a new solid by offsetting all faces of an existing solid at a user-specified distance.
	Punch	xpunch	Punches holes in 3D solids using 2D profiles as punching tools.
	Purge	xpurge	Removes the editing data (the "history" or "CSG" data) from selected solids.
	Quickdraw	xquickdraw	Instantly creates 2D geometry from selected solids for the completion of multi-view orthographic and isometric drawings.
	Retract	xretract	Separates a solid by undoing the most recent Boolean operation that was applied to the solid.
	Retract all	xretractall	Explodes a composite solid into its component primitives.
	Revolve	xrevolve	Creates a three-dimensional solid by revolving 2D entities.
	Section	xsection	Invokes the Bricscad SECTION command, which creates a 2D region of the cross section of a solid through a user-specified plane.
	Shell	xshell	Subtracts the interior from an existing solid to create a thin-walled solid.
	Slice	xslice	Slices solids with a plane.
	Edit solid	xsolidedit	Edits all X-Solids solids: primitives, composites, primitive components of composites and solid arrays.
	Sphere	xsphere	Creates a three-dimensional solid sphere.
	Subtract	xsubtract	Creates a solid by subtracting one or more solids from one or more solids.
	Sweep	xsweep	Creates a three-dimensional solid by extruding 2D entities along a path.
	Torus	xtorus	Creates a three-dimensional solid torus.
	Trim	xtrim	Trims 3D solids using 2D profiles as trimming tools.
	UCS	xucs	Defines a new UCS or restores a saved UCS.
	Previous UCS	xucs + p	Restores the previous UCS in the list of UCS's used in the current session.
	Next UCS	xucs + n	Restores the next UCS in the list of UCS's used in the current session.
	Union	xunion	Creates a solid by joining two or more solids.
	Restore View	xviews	Gives command-line access to the Next and Previous entries in the list of views used in the current session.
	Previous view	xviews + p	Restores the previous view in the list of views used in the current session.
	Next view	xviews + n	Restores the next view in the list of views used in the current session.
	Wedge	xwedge	Creates a three-dimensional solid wedge.
