2 points sketch line

Back to "Lines menu" page.

Menu access: Curve | Other curves | Lines | Sketch 2 points line.

Description:

Construction of a sketch line through 2 points, curve or faces.

The sketch lines are created in the xOy plane of the current coordinate system.

The grid frame graphically limits them.

General philosophy:

  1. Select the first point or curve.

  2. Select the second point or curve.

Available option(s):

If you select a curve, it is possible to change the angle value between the curve and the sketch line by using the following cell:. In the case you selected a point; this cell is not taken in consideration.

The button  FACE  allows you to give face as first or second reference element instead of a point or a curve.

You can then give the contact angle of the sketch line with the face.

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

Example(s):

Sketch line between two points.

Sketch line between a face and a point.

Specific point(s):

Caution, if you set an angular constraint on each extremity of the line, you must be sure that:

Modification(s) possible(s):

You can move the line by using the icon , and selecting the point to move. You can also use the dimensions to control the points position.

You can change the angular values by using the icon .
