Construction Circle Edit ( Modeling & Drawing Editor )

Tool summary :

Opens a window that lets you change the color, diameter and other attributes of construction circles that you select.
You can edit construction circles that are on layers marked " Show " in a Drawing Editor drawing or that exist in a Modeling view.
In a drawing that is not a crane placement drawing, you can review (but not modify) the settings of construction circle(s) that are on non-comment layers.
In multi-user Modeling environments, any changes you make to construction circles will be visible to you only. They will be retained in your current Job -- for you only -- across subsequent Modeling sessions.
To edit a construction circle with a double-click , you need to first set the Selection Filter to ' Construction Circles ' or some other filter that allows the selection of construction circles.

Step-by-step instructions :

You must do either step 1b (preselection) or step 3 (in-tool selection) to perform this operation.

1 . Before using this tool:

1a (required for 1b) : Set the Selection Filter to ' Construction Circles ' or ' All ' or another filter that allows the selection of construction circles.

Select Items bindings (step 1b)

1b (optional) : In Select Items mode, select on or more construction circles. To select multiple construction circles, you can draw an area box , or you can hold down the Shift key and left-click ( Select + ) on each construction circle.

Tip: To edit one construction circle at a time, set the selection filter to ' Construction Circles ', then double-click .

2 . Invoke Construction Circle Edit using one (1) of the following methods:

Method 1 : Click the Construction Circle Edits icon, which is pictured above. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Model -- Construction Circles ' ( Modeling ) or ' Objects -- Construction Circles ' ( Drawing Editor ) and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning).

Method 2 : If " Modeling layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose Model > Construction Circles > Edit . When " Drawing Editor layout style " is ' Classic ', choose Objects > Construction Circles > Edit .

Method 3, 4 or 5 : Construction Circle Edit can also be configured to be invoked using a keyboard shortcut , the context menu , or a mode . For the lightning interface, this configuration is done using Customize Interface .

Method 6 : With Construction Circle Mode mouse bindings active, left-click ( Edit ). Skip step 3 and go to step 4.

3 . Skip this step if you did step 1 or method 1 of step 2.

Select Item(s) bindings

3a (if you didn't preselect) : The program prompts you to use Select Item(s) mouse bindings to select the construction circle(s) you want. To select multiple construction circles, you can draw an area box , or you can hold down the Shift key and left-click ( Select + ) on each construction circle. When you are done selecting the construction circle(s), press the Enter key, or right-click ( Menu ) and choose " OK " on the menu.

Alternative: Instead of doing step 3a, you can press the Esc key to cancel.

4 . The Construction Circle Edit window opens. On it are shown the settings of the selected construction circle(s).

If the selected construction circle is on a comment layer or in Modeling , you can change its settings then press the " OK " button on the bottom of the window and go to step 5. Or you can press the " Cancel " button to close this window and end this operation without making any changes to the construction circle.

If the construction circle is on a non-comment layer, press the " OK " button on the bottom of the window when you are done reviewing the settings. Do not continue.

5 . The construction circle(s) are redrawn per the choices you made on the Construction Circle Edit window. The mouse bindings that were active before you invoked Construction Circle Edit become active again.

Note: At this point (in the Drawing Editor only) you can still Undo your changes.
