X commands
344 viewsThere are lots of commands in AutoCAD that starts with letter X, commands that AutoCAD users frequently use or never been used at all . Personally some of these “X” commands that I am talking about got a chance to be use by me, but then some I never got a chance to try at all.
These commands are:
- XREF - (EXTERNALREFERENCE) A command that you’ll use if you’re trying to insert a drawing reference within a drawing. My most frequently use “x” command.
- XCLIP - A command that defines an xref or block clipping boundary, in other words if you want to insert only a certain portion of an xref drawing you can use the Xclip command.
- XBIND - A command that binds one or more definition of named objects in an xref to the current drawing.
- XATTACH - A command that attaches an external reference in the drawing. I think this command is part of XREF command.
- XEDGES - A command that creates wireframe geometry by extracting edges from a 3D solid or surface.
- XLINE - A command that creates line that extend to infinity in one or both directions, it is also known as construction line and can be used as a reference for creating objects.
- XOPEN - A command that opens a selected drawing reference (xref files) in quickest way and its open in a new window.
- XPLODE - A command that breaks a compound object into its component object. typically you’ll use this command when you want to separate one object within a block.
