8.5 What Have We Learned?

Items covered in this lesson include:

• AutoCAD Inquiry Commands:

  • List

  • Dist

  • Area

  • ID

• Creating and Editing Polyline Commands:

  • Pline

  • PEdit

  • Explode

This has been a difficult lesson. But polylines are exceptionally powerful tools, and I suppose the nature of the beast requires the multi-leveled structure of both the Pline and PEdit commands. Take some time to review the lesson. Repeat the exercises as needed to make yourself comfortable. I can guarantee that polylines will be an important part of your CAD future, so get comfortable with them now.

We also discussed some other important commands. Do you remember what they were? Remember, we discussed that they were so simple they are often overlooked and forgotten. Do you forget them already? I'm talking, of course, about List , Dist , Area , and ID . Remember to put that cheater sheet on your monitor!
