Complete Guide to CAD Shortcut Commands: Tips for Using PL, DI, and LI Commands

Thread Content

Those who frequently use the HaoChen CAD drawing software for creating CAD drawings know that we can use the shortcut command PL when drawing lines, and the shortcut command DI when performing measurements. Next, I will give you a detailed introduction to the usage tips for these commands in the CAD shortcut key command guide! CAD shortcut commands: PL and LIpl are simplified commands for drawing plines; they are used to draw such lines, not to directly measure distances. Of course, after drawing apline between two known points, you can use the LI command to find its length, which is the distance between those two points. CAD shortcut commands: LI and DI. In any case, the distance obtained in this way is exactly the same as the result obtained using the direct distance query command, di. The prerequisite is that you need to use the point capture settings in two situations, namely when drawing plines and when selecting points using the DI command, in order to accurately capture these two points. How can they be of different lengths? If it is a diagonal line, there will be projection distance data in the X and Y directions, and it is necessary to consider those distances. The above are the usage tips for the PL, DI, and LI shortcut commands in the CAD shortcut key guide; I hope it will be helpful to everyone~
