CVREBUILD:
The CVREBUILD command allows you to rebuild a spline or NURBS curve in your AutoCAD drawing by adding or removing control vertices (CVs) and adjusting the shape of the curve. Rebuilding the curve can improve its accuracy and smoothness.
This command is useful when you need to modify the shape of a spline or NURBS curve in your design and want to improve its accuracy and smoothness. You can use the CVREBUILD command to adjust the number and location of the CVs and to adjust the weight of the curve at each CV.
CVREMOVE:
The CVREMOVE command allows you to remove a control vertex (CV) from a spline or NURBS curve in your AutoCAD drawing. A control vertex is a point that defines the shape of the curve.
This command is useful when you need to modify the shape of a spline or NURBS curve in your design and want to remove unnecessary CVs. You can use the CVREMOVE command to reduce the number of CVs and simplify the shape of the curve.
CVSHOW:
The CVSHOW command allows you to show the control vertices (CVs) of a spline or NURBS curve in your AutoCAD drawing. Showing the CVs can help you visualize the shape of the curve and adjust its shape more accurately.
This command is useful when you need to work with a spline or NURBS curve and want to see the location of the CVs. You can also use the CVSHOW command to hide the CVs again when you don’t need to see them.
CYLINDER:
The CYLINDER command allows you to create a 3D cylinder object in your AutoCAD drawing. You can specify the radius, height, and location of the cylinder.
This command is useful when you need to create a cylindrical object, such as a pipe or column, in your design. You can use the CYLINDER command in combination with other editing tools, such as rotate and move, to create more complex designs.
