2D CoPilot offers fast and precise 2D geometry input by combining extensive user interaction with snapping and an auto-precision adaptive grid.
Starting 2D CoPilot
In the Fluent user interface, the ribbon appears above the viewport. Activate 2D CoPilot by clicking one of the buttons to draw lines and arcs, rectangles, or circles on the ribbon.
When the cursor or the rubber line is active, distances and angles appear for lines and vertices in the cursor text window, and radii appear for circles.
