  • Updated

Overview

The Curve tool is used to draw curves, lines and figures directly in the 2D view. Segments can be drawn with a minimum of two points, and a figure can be drawn with a minimum of three segments.

 

Location

2D View > 2D Menu > Curve (Q)
2D View > Curve > Context Menu > Separate from Surface
2D View > Curve > Context Menu > Make Inner
2D View > 2D Menu > Surface

Operation Method

Inner Curve

  1. Click on the 2D menu, and select CurveCurve.png
  2. Click on a point on the surface in 2D view to create a start point.
  3. Click on another point to create a line, then drag the line to create a curve.
  4. Draw your desired shape, then press Enter or right-click to complete an inner curve.

Outer Curve

  1. Click on the 2D menu, and select Curve.
  2. Click on a point in the empty space outside the surface in 2D view to create a start point.
  3. Click on another point to create a line, then drag the line to create a curve.
  4. Draw your desired shape, then press Enter or right-click to complete an outer curve.

Surface

  1. Click on the 2D menu, then select Curve.

Components

Outer Curve Outer curve refers to curves and lines on the outside of surfaces.
It can be selected in All / Curves Selection Mode.
It appears as a black solid line in 2D view.
Inner Curve Inner curve refers to curves and lines on the inside of surfaces.
It can be selected in All / Curves Selection Mode.
It appears as a blue, yellow or purple solid line according to the angle in 2D view.
Outline Outline refers to curves and lines on the outside of surfaces.
It can be selected in All / Curves Selection Mode.
It appears as a solid black line in 2D view with the surface filled inside the outline.
Active Deactivated curves can only be selected through Deactivated Selection Mode. Therefore, it can be used as a base line when changing the surface to make patterns.
It appears as a green solid line in 2D view.
Curves / lines and surfaces can be disabled in Activate (Shift+A) / Deactivate (Shift+D).
