1. CTC 212 Element and Text Placement Modification and Manipulation Scales

2. Place More Elements Ellipses –by center: center, large radius, secondary radius –by edge: identify 3 points on the ellipse Polygons –inscribed: inside imaginary circle –circumscribed: outside imaginary circle –by edge: define # of sides and give begin/end of one side Lines (point curve, stream curve, multi-lines)

3. Modify/Manipulate Modify Elements –Partial delete, fillet, chamfer, trim Manipulate Elements –Move, copy, parallel, scale, rotate, mirror, array Choices (original or copy; identify fence)

4. Undo/Redo Undo Set Mark and Undo to Mark Undo all (will undo all in buffer) Redo (one time reversal of the undo)

5. Text Placement Text parameters (Element, Text) Place Text –Box 1 (origin, fitted, above, below, on, along, place note)

6. Scaling In Microstation you draw full size and plot to a scale (MU per inch of paper) But…… At a certain plot scale, how much of my drawing is going to plot? Try drawing a border the size of a piece of a paper and then an inside border that represents margins (8.5x11 and 7x10)

7. Borders (want 7x10) Typical for transportation/site Scale (typical for transp/site)Border Size 1”=10’70’ by 100’ 1”=20’140’ by 200’ 1”=40’280’ by 400’ 1”=100’700’ by 1000’ 1”=200’1400’ by 800’

8. Borders (want 7x10) Typical for mech/arch/structural Drawing ScalePlotting ScaleBorder Size 1/8”=1’1”=8’56’ by 80’ ¼”=1’1”=4’28’ by 40’ 1/2”=1’1”=2’14’ by 20’ 1”=1’ 7’ by 10’

9. Dimensionless Scaling Plotting ScaleDimensionless 1”=8’1:96 1”=4’1:48 1”=2’1:24 1”=1’1:12 1”=10’*1:120 1”=501:600 1”=100’1:1200 1”=1000’1:12,000 1”=2000’1:24,000 *There are 120” in 10’
