Rebuild

See also: Line and arcs.

Menu access: Curve | Manage | Rebuilt

Description:

Try to rebuild a re-passing contour with fillet recognition.

The goal is mainly to get associative an imported geometry.

General philosophy:

Select the curves to rebuild.

Available Option(s) :

The  ARCS AND LINES  button allows you to turn a curve into a composite curve made of line and arcs within a given tolerance.

The option  Maximum fillet radius= . . . .    allows you to choose the radius value that gives the limit between turning an entity into a fillet (defined as radius and tangent to two entities) or into a circle (defined as a center point and a radius value).

Specific point(s):

The created element replaces the starting one.

The result is a contour that go over again on elements created automatically. These elements depends on the recognized geometry. They can be :

• points,

• lines by 2 points,

• circles by centre and radius,

• arcs of circle by centre and two points,

• other curves (especially B-Splines stay as B-Splines).

In the case of B-Splines curves, they must be converted first with the  ARCS AND LINES  mode.
