Program Drawing Editor
The Drawing Editor is primarily used for editing and creating advanced graphical outputs from GEO5 programs, but it can also be used as a standalone CAD program.
Views from all GEO5 programs can be inserted into the program from the clipboard [1].
A single file can contain multiple drawings [2], and each drawing has its own settings [3] — e.g., dimensions, style, units.
It is possible to import CAD files (.dxf, .dwg, .dgn) or IFC files into the drawing [4]. These data are inserted as blocks (in scale), which can later be exploded into individual objects. It is also possible to import images (.jpeg, .jpg, .png, .gif, .tif, .tiff, .emf, .wmf) or PDF files [5].
Drawing can be done using user objects [6]. The properties of objects can be edited [7], and tools for modifying them can be used [8]. Objects can be placed on different layers [9]. Working with objects, tools, and layers is almost identical to the "Annotations" function and corresponds to standard CAD programs.
The list of objects is displayed on the left side of the window [10].
Tables can be easily created in each drawing, for example, for title block [11].
The final drawing can be exported [12] or printed [13].
At the bottom of the window, special settings can be found — selection type, toggling line thickness, snap settings to directions and objects [14].
To select objects of a certain type, a filter can be used [15]. Additionally, it is possible to measure linear distances directly [16].
