Chapter 3 Screen Layout
Some tools, such as Redraw and Extent, affect only the “active” pane. When
there is only one pane, it is always active. When the drawing window is split
into multiple panes, the active pane is the one to which the active pane indi-
cator points.
■
To change the active pane, click the active pane indicator until it points
to the correct pane. You can also change the active pane by pressing F6 or
SHIFT+F6.
Drawing and Grid Origin
By default, the drawing and grid origins are located in the lower left corner
of the drawing page. AutoSketch measures all points in relation to the draw-
ing origin. You can easily change the location of the origin, but if you move
the origin, all entities in the drawing move with it.
■
To hide the origin from view, uncheck the Drawing Origin check box on
the Appearance page of the View Options dialog box.
■
To change the drawing origin colors, click the axis (direction) you want to
change on the Appearance page of the View Options dialog box. The
Color dialog box appears. Simply adjust the Red, Green, and Blue color
values (RGB values) and click OK.
