Summary

A Region is a closed shape object that can be placed on a Draftsman document sheet to indicate a specific area in a drawing. The Region object shape can include angle-based curved lines, and a solid color or ANSI pattern fill.

Availability

Regions are available for placement in the Draftsman Editor as follows:

  • Choose the Place » Region command from the main menus.
  • Click the  button in the graphic objects drop-down on the Active Bar located at the top of the design space. Click and hold an Active Bar button to access other related commands. Once a command has been used, it will become the topmost item on that section of the Active Bar.
  • Right-click in the drawing design space then select Place » Region from the context menu.
  • Click the  entry in the graphic objects drop-down menu () on the Drawing Annotations toolbar (View » Toolbars » Drawing Annotations to enable).

Placement

After launching the command, the cursor will change to a cross-hair and the editor will enter Region placement mode. Placement is made by performing the following sequence of actions:

  1. Click to place the first vertex of the Region shape.
  2. Move the cursor then click to place the second vertex of the Region shape.
  3. Continue to place further region vertices to complete the Region shape.
  4. After the final vertex is placed, right-click or press Esc to complete the Region shape back to the first-placed vertex.

Straight lines will be drawn between each vertex as they are placed, however, the Shift+Spacebar shortcut can be used to cycle through other line options such as a 90° corner, 45° corner, curved 90° corner, or curved 45° corner. Once an option is selected, use the Spacebar to toggle the direction of the corner.

  • Drag (click+hold+move) any part of the Region, but not a node, to reposition it on the document.
  • Drag a corner vertex node to move it to a new location and alter the Region shape.
  • Drag the center mark of a line to move that line in the perpendicular (maintaining its angle), to a new location.
  • Ctrl+drag a node to delete it from the shape or press Delete while dragging a node to delete it from the shape.
  • Ctrl+drag on a line, but not its center mark, to add a new node.

To open the Properties panel and access the properties of a placed Region:

  • After selecting the Region object, select the Properties panel from the Panels button at the bottom right of the design space or select View » Panels » Properties from the main menus.
  • Double-click on the Region's perimeter or fill.
  • Right-click on the Region's perimeter or fill then select Item Properties from the context menu.

If the Properties panel is already active, click on the Region's perimeter or fill to access its properties in the panel.

The Region properties can be accessed prior to entering placement mode from the Draftsman - Defaults page of the Preferences dialog. This allows the default properties for the Region object to be changed, which will be applied when placing subsequent Regions.

Editing Multiple Objects

The Properties panel supports multiple object editing, where the property settings that are identical in all currently selected objects can be modified.
