Change Graphical Element (2-D)

2-D Geometry > Change

Use the functions of the Change function group on the 2-D Geometry tab to change graphical elements.

You can use the Element snap mode for a quicker selection of certain functions. Move the cursor across the drawing objects: The graphic element which is closest to the current cursor position is selected. If you right-click, the element becomes active, and the context menu containing the functions is displayed.

Lines
	Trim, To intersection point
	Lengthen/Shorten, To point
	Lengthen/Shorten, To line
	Trim, To intersection with GE
	Trim, Between points
	Change GE into symbol line
	Individually
Pull-down menu Trim
	Lengthen/Shorten, By value
	Lengthen/Shorten, Via value
	Change circle/fillet radius
	Close corner, internal corner	To connect two lines to one another, click the cursor next to the intersection point.
	Close Corner, 2 GE	This function enables you to identify the two graphical elements that you want to form a corner.
	Divide
	Merge polyline	This function enables you to merge a graphical element that has been split into parts using the Divide function back into a graphical element.
	Merge part	Use this function to merge all graphical elements of the active part.
	Align+Close GE	The alignment mechanism ensures that "unclean" data such as imprecise parallelism, tangentiality, angles and gaps between graphical elements are automatically corrected, taking a tolerance into account. The correction is made in the active part.
	Overlap
	Rectangular cutout	Graphical elements within a rectangle are deleted. They are either slit, shortened or deleted. Circles/arcs are always completely deleted even if only a part of the element is in the rectangle.
	Trim to rectangle	You trim the active part by positioning a rectangle as required. All lines outside the rectangle are deleted.
