Chamfer
- The Chamfer command will cut off a segment of a corner and replace the corner with a straight line. The command is perfect for angling the corners of a driveway entrance.
Refer to the lesson on Chamfer in the Online Learning Center under Drawing The Plot Plan for assistance with the command.
- Fillet The Fillet command will cut off a segment of a corner at a specified depth and replace the corner with an arc to "round" the corner. The command is perfect for rounding the corners of a driveway entrance.
Refer to the lesson on Fillet in the Online Learning Center under Drawing The Plot Plan for assistance with the command.
- Inserting an Image File To this point, Pro Contractor Studio has always “referenced” a file when an image is inserted into a drawing. If the image file is moved from its referenced location or if the file name is changed, when opening the drawing an option will appear allowing you to relocate the image file. If changes are made to the original image file, the changes will be displayed upon opening the .pcs drawing file. From the Save Type drop down menu, select External file reference to continue referencing the image file.
- Selecting Embed within drawing file will permanently insert the image file into the .pcs drawing file. Changes to the original image file will not be displayed upon opening the .pcs drawing file. Embedding the image inside of the .pcs drawing file will increase the size of the drawing file.
- Properties When selecting a line or curve on the drawing screen, the Properties command will now mark the current point with a large X as you progress through the Point Indexes by clicking on the left or right arrow keys.
