Creating 2D Loci

A locus is a reference point that is used to draw and measure objects. Loci do not print. Loci can also be used as pivot points or fixed points for rotating and aligning objects. For example, to snap the cursor to a 2D locus, select Snap to loci in the VectorWorks Preferences dialog box.

The 2D Locus tool places a 2D locus in a drawing when it is in Top/Plan view. Because they are merely movable reference points, loci cannot be reshaped or resized.

 

To place a 2D locus:

1.	Click the 2D Locus tool from the Basic palette.

2.	Click to place the locus.

3.	Click to place additional loci if necessary.
