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.

Operation Method

Inner Curve

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

   

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, then 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.
2. Open the 2D view, and add a start point by clicking on a space.
3. Create three or more points, then return to the start point to close the segment and create a pattern.

Components

Outer Curve

Outer curve refers to curves and lines on the outside of surfaces.

It can be selected in Curves/Points Selection Mode.

It appears as a black solid line in the 2D view.

Inner Curve

Inner curve refers to curves and lines on the inside of surfaces.

It can be selected in Curves/Points Selection Mode.

It appears as a blue, yellow, or purple solid line according to the angle in the 2D view.

Outline

Outline refers to curves and lines on the outside of surfaces.

It can be selected in Curves/Points 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/Guideline Selection Mode. Therefore, it can be used as a baseline when changing the surface to make patterns.

It appears as a green solid line in the 2D view.

Curves /lines and surfaces can be disabled in Activate or Deactivate.
