Double Line

Location in Menu: Draw > Double Line

Tools for drawing double (parallel) lines and linear objects. The Double Line tools are essentially similar to the Line tools, but there are no tangent tools. You can display the Double Line toolbar by right-clicking in any toolbar area and selecting Double Line.

Note: If you want to use double lines to create representations of walls, there is a special tool for this purpose.

LTE Type Objects

In the LTE Workspace 2D tools behave with slight differences to standard xCAD methods.

1. They allow use of dynamic input.

2. They automatically drop when the action is completed, whereas standard xCAD tools continue until you change the tool.

3. They have a Multiple option (local menu) that turns off auto-dropping for the individual tool.

4. You can complete drop the tool by pressing the either the Enter or Space keys.

5. You can re-activate the tool by pressing the Space Key again.

All LTE Workspace Double Line tools work exactly as the equivelant xCAD tools except as noted in the above list.

Double Line-Irregular Polygon

Location in Menu: Draw > Double Line > Irregular Polygon

Creates a double-line polygon (closed) with irregular sides and angles.

Double Line-Parallel

Location in Menu: Draw > Double Line > Parallel

Creates a double line parallel to a existing line.

Double Line-Perpendicular

Location in Menu: Draw > Double Line > Perpendicular

Creates a double line perpendicular to an existing line.

Double Line-Polygon

Location in Menu: Draw > Double Line > Polygon

Creates a regular (equal-length sides) double-line polygon.

Double Line-Polyline

Location in Menu: Draw > Double Line > Polyline

Creates a series of connected straight double line segments (no arc segments) that comprise one object.

Double Line Properties

Double Lines have unique properties that you can set in the Double Line tab of the Properties window.

• Separation: The distance between the lines. If you stretch or scale a double line, this distance does not change.

• End Caps: Closes the endpoints of the double line. End Cap at End

End Cap at Start

Tip: Another way to create end caps is to use the Edit Tool (node editing), right-click on the end node and select Closed Double End.

Double Line-Rectangle

Location in Menu: Draw > Double Line > Rectangle

Creates an orthogonal double-line rectangle by defining two diagonally opposite corners. For the interaction.

Double Line-Rotated Rectangle

Location in Menu: Draw > Double Line > Rotated Rectangle

Creates a non-orthogonal double-line rectangle line. For the interaction.

Double Line-Single Line

Location in Menu: Draw > Double Line > Single

Creates one double line. For the interaction.
