2.3.6.3 Draw Benchwork.

Creates Bench-work using different types and orientation of lumber.

Bench-work Notes

Lumber is drawn using the Dressed size which is 0.25" smaller than the indicated size: a 1" x 2" actually measures 0.75" x 1.75". The drawn height of Girders is 0.5" smaller.

Girders can be drawn in a variety of orientations: normal, inverted or rotated. L-Girders can be drawn with the flange to the Left or Right.

When using metric units (Section 2.10.7), a 1" x 2" is labeled 50mm x 25mm

With MagneticSnap enabled, the new line start position will snap to the nearest draw object, as shown by the anchor unless Shift is held down. If it is diabled, it will onlt snap if Shift is held. If Ctrl is held down during Left+Drag the line will snap the relative angle of the new side to a multiple of 90 degrees. If Sticky is set for draw line and curve objects, after the object is created, precise dimensions can be entered to alter the new object, before it is completed either with a Space or Return or Tab or by selecting a new operation.
