Cut with Base Point in ACTCAD

CUTBASE in ACTCAD:

The CUTBASE command in ACTCAD is used to cut (remove) selected objects from a drawing and place them on the clipboard with a specified base point. This is particularly useful when you want to paste the objects into another location or another drawing with precise positioning control.

Step 1: Open the CUTBASE Command

• Type CUTBASE in the command line and press Enter.

Step 2: Specify Base Point

• You will be prompted to “Select Base Point”.
• Click or enter coordinates to define the base point for future pasting.

Step 3: Select Objects

• You'll then be prompted to: "Select objects:"
• Select the objects you want to cut from the drawing.
• Press Enter after your selection is complete.

Step 4: Objects Are Cut

• The selected objects are removed from the drawing and placed into the clipboard.
• They are now ready to be pasted using PASTECLIP.

Step 5: Paste Objects

• Type PASTECLIP in the command line and press Enter.
• Specify the insertion point in the current or another drawing to place the objects.
• The base point you defined earlier will be used for accurate placement.

Step 6: Final Result

• The objects will appear in the new location or drawing at the specified point.
• They retain their original properties (layers, colors, etc.).
• They are placed exactly based on the base point selected in Step 2.

Conclusion:

The CUTBASE command in ACTCAD is an efficient tool for managing objects that need to be moved with precision between locations or drawings. By letting you set a custom base point, it ensures exact placement during re-insertion and is highly effective in modular or component-based design workflows.

Conclusion:

The CONVERTPOLY command in ACTCAD is a powerful utility that helps users optimize drawings for performance, compatibility, or 3D modeling precision. By converting between lightweight and heavy poly lines, you can tailor your drawing entities to match the needs of modern or legacy workflows. Whether you're preparing drawings for export, editing 3D layouts, or cleaning up imported geometry, CONVERTPOLY ensures you’re using the right poly line type for the task.
