flatten command and add spline fit point

orendothan — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 19:34:20 GMT

I recently switched from the full version to LT. Two commands that I am missing are:

How to add a vertex (fit point) to a pline or spline. I used to be able to hover over a fit point and add. It doesn;t seem to work on my current version. Any idea why ?

Flatten command doesn't seem to be available in LT.

Is there a work around ?

Nope. All part of the discount that is the LT version.

If you only need to move content from Z>0 to Z=0, there are free LISP routines everywhere you can use if you are running LT2024 or LT2025 (older LT versions have no LISP ability, you'll need to use PROPERTIES command).

Hi,

Grips should work.

Select a grip (make grip hot / click inside a grip)

Right-Click to open the context menu.

Are the options available?

Multifunctional grips also.

Make sure MultiFunctionalGrip is on (3)

Test it with a polyline, created by command rectang

when I hover above the grip point and it turns red, the menu for adding a grip point doesn't appear. Works on other computers not on this one for some reason ?

Hi,

Hovering

----

Grip shouldn't be red by hovering, just by left click (aka hotgrip).

Then rightclick to open the contextmenu

Your shape is not what i mentioned for a test. I said, command: Rectang!

it must turn green and you need to turn this on

if the grip turns red, then you select it to move, so not grips menu appear.
