Zoom to Polyline: GT_ZPOLY – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_ZPOLY command in GeoTools provides a quick way to zoom to the extents of a selected polyline, ensuring that the entire polyline is brought into view instantly. This tool is particularly useful when working with large drawings, where manually panning and zooming can be time-consuming. GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> More tools -> Zoom to Polyline Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_ZPOLY, users can efficiently focus on specific polylines, improving workflow speed and drawing navigation in large or detailed CAD projects.

Explode Splined: GT_XPSPL – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_XPSPL command in GeoTools allows users to explode splined or fitted polylines into their underlying line or arc segments and then automatically rejoin them into a standard polyline. This tool is essential for surveying, geographic mapping, and CAD design where a non-splined, non-fitted polyline is required for accurate editing, analysis, and further processing. GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> More tools -> Explode Splineds Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_XPSPL, users can quickly convert splined polylines into standard polylines, ensuring compatibility with design and analysis workflows that require precise line and arc-based geometry.

Find Out Direction of Polyline Vertices: GT_PL_DIR – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_PL_DIR command in GeoTools helps users analyze the directional flow of polyline vertices, identifying whether a selected polyline follows a clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) direction. This tool is particularly useful in surveying, mapping, and GIS applications, where polyline orientation impacts calculations such as area determination, flow direction, and spatial analysis. GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> Direction Control -> Find out direction of polyline vertices Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_PL_DIR, users can quickly determine polyline direction, ensuring proper geospatial alignment and precision in CAD workflows.

Flip (Reverse) Direction: GT_FLIP – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_FLIP command in GeoTools allows users to reverse the direction of polyline vertices, making it an essential tool for controlling polyline orientation in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> Direction Control -> Flip (Reverse) direction Flip (Reverse) Direction: GT_FLIP – GeoTools Command Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is especially useful for surveying, road alignments, GIS mapping, and CNC toolpath adjustments, where polyline orientation is critical.

Express Pedit: GT_XV – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_XV command in GeoTools provides a fast and efficient way to edit polyline vertices, offering quick access to essential PEDIT Edit Vertex functions like Move, Insert, and Break. In addition to standard editing tools, GT_XV includes an advanced Polyline Statistics feature that displays slope length, projected horizontal length, coordinate extents (X, Y, Z), and vertex count—making it a powerful tool for surveying, GIS, and engineering applications. GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> Create/Edit -> Express Pedit Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_XV, users can edit polylines with greater speed and precision, reducing manual keystrokes while gaining detailed geometric insights.

Multiple Pedit: GT_MPedit – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_MPEDIT command in GeoTools is a batch polyline editing tool that allows users to modify multiple polylines simultaneously, streamlining the editing process within BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> Create/Edit -> Multiple Peditolylines Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is essential for CAD professionals working on large-scale polyline modifications, enabling faster and more efficient topographical mapping, road design, and structural drafting.

Draw Linear Polylines from Arced Polylines: GT_LinPoly – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_LINPOLY command in GeoTools converts arced polylines into linear segmented polylines, ensuring compatibility with applications requiring straight-line segments in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> Create/Edit -> Draw linear polylines from arced polylines Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is valuable for surveyors, engineers, and designers who need to work with simplified linear representations of complex curved polylines.

Draw 2d/3d Polylines with Auto-Edge Panning: GT_AUTOPAN – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_AUTOPAN command in GeoTools enables users to draw 2D or 3D polylines with an automatic edge-panning feature, allowing smooth navigation beyond the current screen view in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> Create/Edit -> Draw 2d/3d polylines with auto-edge panning Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is especially useful for cartographers, GIS professionals, and CAD users working on large maps, site plans, and complex polylines that extend beyond the current display.

Weed (Remove) Vertices Based in 3D Slope and Distance: GT_SLOPEDISTWEED – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_SLOPEDISTWEED command in GeoTools enables users to remove unnecessary vertices from 3D polylines based on slope and distance criteria. This enhances polyline efficiency and accuracy within BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> Vertex Management -> Weed (remove) vertices based in 3D slope and distance Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is essential for civil engineers, surveyors, and GIS professionals working with 3D terrain and elevation-sensitive designs.

Weed (Remove) Collinear Vertices from Polyline: GT_REM_LINVERTS – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_REM_LINVERTS command in GeoTools efficiently removes collinear (redundant) vertices from polylines, simplifying geometry while maintaining accuracy in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> Vertex Management -> Weed (remove) collinear vertices from polyline Weed (Remove) Collinear Vertices from Polyline: GT_REM_LINVERTS – GeoTools Command Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is essential for surveyors, engineers, and CAD professionals looking to streamline their polylines for efficient drawing management.
