Operation Method
Inner Curve
- Click on the Design Toolbar, and select Curve
- Click on a point on the surface in 2D Canvas to create a start point.
- Click on another point to create a line, then drag the line to create a curve.
- Draw your desired shape, then press Enter or right-click to complete an inner curve.
Outer Curve
- Click on the Design Toolbar, and select Curve.
- Click on a point in the empty space outside the surface in 2D Canvas to create a start point.
- Click on another point to create a line, then drag the line to create a curve.
- Draw your desired shape, then press Enter or right-click to complete an outer curve.
Surface
- Click on the Design Toolbar, then select Curve.
- Open the 2D Canvas, and add a start point by clicking on a space.
- 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 All / Curves Selection Mode. It appears as a black solid line in 2D Canvas. |
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 Canvas. |
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 Canvas 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 Canvas. Curves / lines and surfaces can be disabled in Activate (Shift+A) / Deactivate (Shift+D). |
