Arc

Create an arc (wire body).

Procedure

There are 3 methods to create arcs.

  • Method 1: By specifying 3 points

  • Method 2: By Specifying center

  • Method 3: By Specifying angle

Method 1: By specifying 3 points

  1.  On the [Model] tab, go to and click ▼ at the side of [Wire Body] .
    Select [Arc [Specify 3 Points]] on the submenu.
     

  2. Click the place to set the startpoint on the modeling window.

    (Alternatively enter the coordinates in the parameter input dialog box, and click .)
     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Click and set the start point on the modeling window.

    (Alternatively enter the coordinates in the parameter input dialog box, and click .)
     

 

  1. Click and set the endpoint on the modeling window.

    (Alternatively enter the coordinates in the parameter input dialog box, and click .)



     

  2. If [Continuous] on the parameter input dialog box is selected, the endpoint will automatically be set on the place for the startpoint of the next arc for continuous drawing.

Method 2 (specify center)

  1.  On the [Model] tab, go to and click ▼ at the side of [Wire Body] .
    Select [Arc [Specify Center]] on the submenu.
     

  2. Click and set the center on the modeling window.

    (Alternatively enter the coordinates in the parameter input dialog box, and click .)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Click the place to set the startpoint on the modeling window.

    (Alternatively enter the coordinates in the parameter input dialog box, and click .)

  1. Click and set the endpoint on the modeling window.

    (Alternatively enter the coordinates in the parameter input dialog box, and click .)

     















     

  2. Right click to exit.





     

Method 3

  1.  On the [Model] tab, go to and click ▼ at the side of [Wire Body] .
    Select [Arc [Specify Angle]] on the submenu.
     

  2. Click and set the center on the modeling window.

    (Alternatively enter the coordinates in the parameter input dialog box, and click .)

 

 

  1. Click the place to set the startpoint on the modeling window.

    (Alternatively enter the coordinates in the parameter input dialog box, and click .)

  1. Click and set the endpoint on the modeling window.

    (Alternatively enter the angle in the parameter input dialog box, and click .)


     

  2. The entered angle value will be indicated at Angle on the tooltip.

     

  3. If the angle is positive, the arc will be created clockwise looking towards the positive Z direction. If negative, it will be counterclockwise.
