This tool is used to create a CAD Point, located at a given deflection angle and distance from a start position.
The video below will show how to create a CAD Point at a Deflection from a selected start position.
Or continue down the page to see the CAD Deflection create options.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/1119652894″ css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”5″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This CAD Point Deflection option is found on the CAD Point Toolbar, and is the 11th option when the toolbar files out.
Or from the menu, Use: CAD => Point => Deflection[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”659″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
CAD Control Bar Options
The Point is created and placed using the details from the CAD Control Bar, these include,
String Name, Model, Colour, Z – Value, Linestyle, Weight and Tinable.

- Reference String
- Control Point
- Chainage along the string
- Deflection Angle from the reference string
- Deflection Distance from the reference string
First select the reference string by picking and accepting it. Select the control point, where the deflection will start from.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1480″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Start point has been selected, then type in the distance from the Control Point.
In this example the 0 has been entered so the deflection will be from the control point.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1487″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Type in the Final Deflection Angle, it is measured from the reference string in a clockwise direction, and hit enter to confirm.

The new one point string will be created.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1489″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The new one point string has been created with the setting from the CAD Control Bar.
Note: Turn the model onto the screen if the point is not shown.
Note: The newly created point, is only a single point not associated or attached with the string that was selected in the create option.
Note: If a second point is to be created the option is still active in the project until another option is selected, or it is cancelled. The user can select the next start position and use the option again.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1484″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”5″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
