Relimit Shapes by Distance
Input Source
Select the Source of the data that will be used as input to the function:
Selection | Design elements you have interactively selected in the Design Window. |
Visible | Design elements that are visible in the loaded layer. Elements that have been specifically hidden are excluded. This a quick way of selecting all visible elements in a layer without having to explicitly select them. |
Layer | One or more layers that you select. Names of layers currently loaded in the Design Window are shown in bold. |
|
|
For large datasets, for performance reasons you may prefer to select a layer rather than load that layer and select all of the elements in the layer.
Selecting a non-applicable layer will have no effect. In most cases, an error icon will indicate that the chosen input layer is not valid. Hover over the icon to view a validation hint.
Shape Adjustment Locations
Choose where the distance adjustment will take place:
Start | Relimit the Start points of the selected, visible or layer shapes. |
End | Relimit the End points of the selected, visible or layer shapes. |
Start and End | Relimit both the Start points and the End points of the selected, visible or layer shapes. |
Adjustment Distance
Specify a Distance value by which to adjust the Start/End points in the direction of the vectors of those points.
Specify a positive number to Extend. Specify a negative number to Trim.
Apply
A Preview of the adjustment is shown. Click Apply to apply the adjustment (or Cancel).
Note: An in-place replacement of the Start/End points of the selected, visible or layer shapes is made. If necessary, click Undo to restore the original points.
