Hi, I have a question about Autocad. Is it possible to place a "variable" point or points in a drawing that will have other points, lines, circles and angles "depend" on the location of the variable point? That is, the variable point can be "dragged" to a different place and have other parts of the drawing shift accordingly. For example, you have a circle with points A,B and C on the radius, with A being variable. You print triangle ABC, shift A to different place on the circle and print the new triangle ABC. OR you have have a copy of triangle ABC called DEF in another part of the drawing . If you change angle CAB then the corresponding angle in triangle DEF is moved the same amount.
I am not one to spend a lot on software (an agreement with the wife), and AutoCAD is expensive. But this could be a very powerful feature in a CAD program for dialist. Knowledge on the subject is appreciated. BTW-- The graphing program Graphica comes close to having that power, but through programming steps. WinGeom does it, but is has limited printing and file features. Thanks --Warren (Lat 41.649 Long 88.096 -- the front yard, Long= 88.095 is the back yard)
