All language subtitles for 133 Anchor Points

This is tutorial number 133 and it covers anchor points within KC of E5. To start

off open up tutorial part number 127 which is located on the DVD. Now what we're

going to do is I'm going to go over anchor points and what these do is that when

we're using and trying to dimension circular objects or curves we're able to

select certain anchor points and those are the anchor points that we're going to

be positioning and creating our dimensions from. So say I want to dimension from

this line here to this edge here. I want to know the dimension vertically how

far it is away from each other. Normally I'd go and click the length, click the

vertical, click this line, click this line here but what I'm getting is the

center point of that curve. That's not what I want. So what I'm going to have to

do is I'm going to have to play around with the anchor points. Now to get to the

anchor points it's while you're positioning it. So let's click the length. We'll

click this line here, click this line here, right click and the line anchors.

There's the first ones and the second ones. Now the first one is going to be your

first point that you selected. So anchor one and anchor two. Right now it's on

anchor two. If I put it to anchor one it's going to be up there. So let's position it

on anchor two. I'm happy with that there. Now let's go and we'll change the anchor

for the circle. So the second extension line let's put it to one. That's not what I

want. Put it to three and that's what I want. So you just have to play around

with the anchor points until you get it. And once you get it click okay and you

position it. So you can do this with lines, circles, whatever it may be. If you're

two objects, if you're having trouble getting the actual dimension you want, you

might need to play around with the anchor points. Now you're also able to use the

intersection point detection. That's going to help you get your some anchor points.

Like I can get this point here but I can't find the anchor point here using the

intersection point detection. So you can anchor it down with this and then click

down here and then play around with the extension line. So I'll put it to three.

Put it to one. Every time it's going to be different depends what you're using

and what you're dimensioning. So using the anchor points again it's going to

keep your drawings more precise, more accurate, easier to read and it's going to

get you the results that you want. And that concludes our tutorial on anchor points

with NKTOV5.
