Draw Curves

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Purpose

To draw arcs (in a similar way to the CAD Fillet command) with specified radii. The starting point is a series of Lines.

 

Operation

Return to accept the default layer or enter an alternative. Select the first Line, select the second Line, enter the radius (this will be under half of the Nominal maximum radius for typical use). Repeat by selecting a new first Line etc. The program constructs an Arc, trims the Lines and marks the IP. Use the CAD Pedit command to join as one 2D Polyline.
