About Drafting Tools

You can perform a variety of editing operations on linework components and certain Civil objects using the AEC Modify Tools.

This suite of tools can be used on any of the following objects and is available on the context menu regardless of whether any of these objects of these types are selected:

Although the modify tools can only be applied to the types of objects listed, objects of any type can be used as reference points or boundaries for the editing operations. For example, linework can be trimmed or extended in relation to Civil objects. Likewise, Civil objects can be used to define a cropping boundary to subtract from linework. For more information about the applicability of the various tools, refer to the individual procedures.
