Node construction is transparent

If the checkbox is disabled, then calling the Node command from other drawing commands cancels the current command. If the checkbox is enabled, then in the same case the system remembers the state of the current command and returns to if after creating a node.

 

Dimension edit is transparent

This option allows editing dimension values by clicking the value without calling editing commands. The construction entities that are driven by the dimension are being identified and relocated (if possible) according to the new value. If Transparent element editing is enabled, then transparent editing of dimension values is available regardless of the state of Dimension edit is transparent option.

 

Transparent element editing
