Line

See also: Bisector line , Polar line , Lines menu

Menu access: Curve | Line

Description:

Creates a line limited by two elements as points or curves.

General philosophy:

  1. Select the first point or curve.

  2. Select the second point or curve.

Available Option(s) :

You can draw bisector lines using  BISECTRIX .

You can draw polar line using  POLAR .

The  FACE  button allows you to give a starting or ending face.

The line is created on the current coordinate system, so the reference face must intersect it.

You can modify the angle between the line and the tangent to the reference curve or face (by default 0°) with

Example(s):

Lines between two points.

  Lines between a point and a line:

a : 90° of angular constraint.

 

b : 80° of angular constraint (side function of the point selection).

  Lines between a line (90° of angular constraint) and a circle:

a : 90° of angular constraint

 

b : 0° of angular constraint (side function of the point selection).

Lines between two circles.

 Specific point(s):

Warning, if an angular constraint already exists at each line extremity, you need to have the line created :

Available modification(s):

The icon allows you to change the contact angle of the line.

The icon allows you to move the line or its extremities.
