Spell Checker The Check Spelling dialog box has been updated to include an Undo button, which enables you to undo actions you made for the previous spelling mistake. In addition, the Select Objects button has been enhanced so that you can begin selecting objects to check without first having to choose the Select Objects option from the dropdown list. Dimensions Enhancements to dimension styles and properties provide more control over the display and placement of dimension text. The Text tab of the Dimension Style dialog box has been updated with a new text placement option that enables you to position dimension text below the dimension line. You can control the direction of the text using the new View Direction option in which you can specify that the text be displayed from Left-to-Right or Right-toLeft. The Properties palette has been updated to include these new properties as well. The Primary and Alternate Units tabs of the Dimension Style dialog box include new sub-unit controls for suppression of leading zeros. For example, if the unit is 1 meter, you could specify a sub-unit factor of 100 and sub-unit suffix of cm. In this case, when the dimension value is less than 1, such as . 96, it displays as 96 cm instead of . 96 m. The new sub-units properties are also included in the Properties palette. Figure 32.

Red circles appear around endpoints near where any gap in geometry is estimated to be. Figure 33. Volume highlighting Reverse Tools The new REVERSE command enables you to reverse the direction of lines, polylines, splines, and helixes. The ability to change the direction of these objects provides you with more control, such as the display of special linetypes. Figure 39. Reverse results In addition to the new REVERSE command, the PEDIT command has been updated to include a new Reverse option. Simply select the polyline you want to edit and choose the Reverse option. The results are the same as using the REVERSE command. www. autodesk. com/autocad http://heidihewett. blogs. com/ 24 3219 PREVIEW GUIDE Figure 40. Reverse option Spline Editing Tools The updated SPLINEDIT command includes a new option to convert a spline to a polyline. Select the spline you want to edit and choose the Convert to Polyline option. You'll then be prompted to specify a precision for the conversion. Convert to Polyline option www. autodesk. com/autocad http://heidihewett. blogs. com/ 25 3219 PREVIEW GUIDE In addition to the new Convert to Polyline option in the SPLINEDIT command, you can use the updated PEDIT command to select a Spline object and automatically convert it to a polyline. After selecting the spline and confirming that "Yes" you really do want to convert it, you can specify the precision between 0 and 99. Figure 42. Spline to polyline precision To further control the accuracy when converting splines to polylines, you can use the new PLINECONVERTMODE variable to specify the fit method. [. . . ] Unlike extrusions performed on solid objects (which create a new solid object), mesh face extrusions extend and deform the mesh object without creating a new one. www. autodesk. com/autocad http://heidihewett. blogs. com/ 43 3219 PREVIEW GUIDE Figure 79. Extruded face After using the mesh creating and editing tools to create organic meshes, you can convert those that are watertight (no gaps) and not self-intersecting, to smooth or faceted solids. Additional tools enable you to convert meshes to smooth or faceted surfaces and you can control the smoothness of objects during the conversion process. These conversion tools are available in the Convert Mesh panel of the ribbon tab. Figure 80. [. . . ]
