PolySolid

Height

Sets the height of the polysolid. The default height is saved to the PSOLHEIGHT system variable.

The default height is used if the Dynamic option is OFF.

Width

Sets the width of the polysolid. The default width is saved to the PSOLWIDTH system variable.

If dynamic dimensions are active,

Justification

Defines the position of the polysolid entity with respect to the base line.

Prompts you:

Select justification Left/Right/Center <Center>:

Choose an option.

Justification is Center by default. This option is not saved and will be reset to default when BricsCAD is closed.

Dynamic justification:

If Dynamic is ON: when the command prompts for the height of the polysolid, press the Ctrl key to toggle the justification between Left, Right and Center. If the HOTKEYTIP system variable is ON, the Hot Key Tip assistant indicates the currently selected option.

Separate Solids

If set ON, a chain of L-bisector connected solids is created (left). If set OFF, a single multi-segment solid is created (right).

Separate Solids is ON by default. This option is not saved and will be reset to default when BricsCAD is closed.

Dynamic

If set ON, you will be prompted to define the height of the polysolid entity:

Height of polysolid <xxx.xx>:

Do one of the following:

• Press Enter to accept the default height.

• Type a value in the command bar

• Click a point in the drawing.

If set ON, and Dynamic Dimensions are ON, you can define the width and height of the polysolid entity in the dynamic entry fields. Press the TAB key to switch to the other field. Press Enter to confirm the current values.

Object

Prompts you to select an existing linear entity:

Select polysolid base:

Lines, open and closed polylines, arcs, circles, ellipses, elliptical arcs and splines are accepted.

Arc

Starts drawing arc segments.

Prompts you:

CLose/Direction/Line/Secondpt/Undo/<End of arc>:

Enter an option:

• End of arc: Enter a point. The arc is tangent to the previous segment.

• Direction: Lets you define the direction of the tangent at the start point of the new arc segment.

• Line: Starts creating linear segments.

• Secondpt: Prompts you to specify a point along the arc's circumference

Distance

Lets you define the length and angle of a linear segment.

Prompts you:

Distance for segment: Type a value.

Angle of segment: Type a value.

Follow

When switching from arc segments to linear segments, creates the linear segment tangent to the arc segment.

Close

Creates a closing segment between the previous point and the start point of the polysolid.

Undo

Removes the previous segment.
