Wireframe Menu: Derived Curves Tools
Group of functions used to create curves derived from existing curves.
The functions included in this group are:
|
|
Create a 2D (projected) Bounding Box contour around selected entities. Pick one or more 2D contours and the system finds the tightest square, circle, or enclosing polygon that completely surrounds the selected contour(s). |
|
|
|
Create a sharp, round, or chamfer corner between curves. |
|
|
|
Create a path of cooling circuit centerlines along one or more cylinder or cone faces (holes or shafts) in a part. This feature is available in the Part and Assembly environments and does not require a Cimatron Mold license. It is well suited for users that do not cut cooling holes. |
|
|
|
Create curves that are face curves (edges or section/cross section curves). |
|
|
|
Create one or more an intermediate curves between two curves. Any number of intermediate curves can be created. If 2 points are selected, the result is an intermediate point (or a number of points as required). This function may be used, for example, to divide an angle, place components on a part, define the split direction, or to find a centerline for machining purposes (to guide the path or orientation of the tool during NC programming). |
|
|
|
Create intersection curves between objects, faces, and planes. |
|
|
|
Create a 2D inner and/or outer silhouette (perimeter curve) of objects. |
|
|
|
Create silhouette curves on selected faces based on a 'lighting' direction. |
|
|
|
Find the skeleton (middle curve) of selected 2D contours or planar faces. For planar faces, the system creates a skeleton curve based on the boundary edges of the selected face. |
