The Cross symbols command is used for automatic insertion of angular, three-way or four-way symbols in line crossings.
The default cross symbol insertion process involves indicating two lines. After that program automatically inserts a symbol in the intersection. Indicated lines can be interrupted or properly extended.
Inserting a cross symbol
The basic functionality and symbols options are being described in the Symbols) chapter.
Procedures
1. Run the Cross symbols command.
2. In the dialog window choose the appropriate category.
3. Select the symbols that you would like to insert in the drawing.
4. Check the scale and symbols parameters.
5. (Optional) In accordance with your preferences fill out the value of following parameters: Article, Manufacturer, Reference, DN, PN.
6. Click the Insert symbol button in order to indicate lines in which you would like to insert selected symbol.
7. Indicate the first line in the drawing in which the symbol should be inserted (main line P1).
8. Indicate the second line in the drawing (P2).
9. Symbol will be inserted in the drawing, lines will be properly interrupted or extended or shortened.
When inserting three-way symbols the first point (P1 or P1’) defines the main line, while the next point (P2) defines a secondary line. In case of an angular valve choosing the point (P1 or P1’) defines the direction in which the valve is being inserted.
Inserting cross symbols
A second possibility of inserting a cross symbol is to indicate the actual line crossing of two lines (P1) and afterwards indicate the (P2) point, which specifies the symbol rotation. CADprofi application will automatically detect and interrupt the connected lines.
Inserting a cross symbol
Notice
Automatic adjustment and lines interruption takes place if indicated lines intersect with each other at a right angle.
Inserting a symbol at the line crossing is possible only for the "Insert symbol" option (other options, such as "Into many lines" will insert a symbol accordingly to the description in the „Symbols”. command).
Inserting a symbol at the line crossing won't be possible if one of these lines is a polyline.
