Converting Polylines into Arcs with AutoCAD
Instead of creating arcs manually, we can make polylines and use their vertexes as the start and end points of arcs that can be connected to form one object. AutoCAD’s polylines can be easily converted into arcs by simply hovering our cursor over the grips on our polylines and changing individual segments into arcs. If…

Our polylines can have multiple segments, and each segment can be modified to meet our standards. By using the “PEdit” command, we can edit our polylines and assign specific settings…

Rotating pages is a common practice, but there are two different ways to do this in Bluebeam Revu. One method is temporary and rotates all pages, while the other is more “permanent” and rotates specific pages and/or documents at the same time. We can quickly modify our view’s orientation by using both rotation tools in…

Draw Order in AutoCAD
After we place several objects onto our drawings in AutoCAD, we can determine which objects are in front or behind other objects. The “Bring to Front” and “Send to Back” functions allow us to do this, and we can use similar functions to place objects in-between other objects. We also have specific functions to change…
