Global Edit
Global Edit allows you to make several changes to one or more
entities, in one operation.
Prompts
After selecting Global Edit from the CGDraw menu you will be asked
to specify the method of entity selection at the command line:
Screen: This option allows
you to use any of the standard mouse based CAD selection
methods.
Points: Allows you to
select C&G points using the standard C&G selection
methods. Checking a given check box activates that section of
the dialog box and allows you to make the desired changes.
Done: When finished
selecting the entities enter “D” for done this will bring up the
Dialog box.
There are five basic sections in
this dialog.
All: checking this checkbox
is just a fast way of checking all the checkboxes and thus allows
you to edit all of the properties of the selected entities.
All of the editable items for the entities selected will have their
checkboxes checked.
CAD properties
Layer: change the layer of
the items selected
Color: Change the color of
the items selected
Font/Style: Change
the font style to a another existing font style.
Text Size: Change the
current Text size (this setting is in inches)
Lines
Linetype: set the linetype
for the lines selected. Pressing the down arrow will bring up
a list of all of the available linetypes.
Line Scale: This
allows you to set the length of the pattern.
Line Stop: This
allows you to set the line stop. This item will only be
activated if a C&G line was chosen.
Line stop is a C&G parameter that allows you to stop the line
short of the point symbol plotted at the point location thus the
line can be made to not go through the symbol. For example,
if you were plotting 0.10 diameter circles for property
corners, you could set the line stop to .10. This would cause a
C&G line drawn to the property corner to end .05 plotted units
short of the actual corner and thus not cross the property corner
point symbol
