Line

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifCreate an edge type straight line on the workplane.

 

Methodology

 

2D

 

Input the coordinate of the start point and the end point to create a line. The start point input is in the absolute coordinate(x,y) form. For the end point, the user can select one of the following 3 methods:

1. [Absolute (x,y)] : Input the absolute 2D coordinate value in the workplane.

2. [Relative (dx,dy)] : Input the relative distance from the point entered in the previous stage.

3. [Length,Angle] : Input the length and angle from the point entered in the previous stage. The angle is the rotation angle in the counter clockwise direction relative to the x axis of the workplane.

3D

 

Input the coordinate of the start point and the end point to create a line. The start point input is in the absolute coordinate(x,y,z) form. For the end point, the user can select one of the following 2 methods:

1. [Absolute (x,y,z)] : Input a 3D absolute coordinate value in the workplane.

2. [Relative (dx,dy,dz)] : Input the relative 3D distance from the point entered in the previous step.

The user can click on the workplane or a geometry shape and directly assign the next point. The y-axis values are not entered because the workplane is two-dimensional.

 

Geometry set

Register the created line on the Geometry set. The user can specify the name of the Geometry set.
