Polygon

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifCreate a wire type polygon on the workplane.

 

Methodology

 

 

  : Inscribed regular polygon

Input the number of sides of the regular polygon. Input the center coordinates of the inscribed circle [(Relative x,y)] and select one of the 3 input methods for the coordinate values of the radius and direction.

(Absolute coordinates x,y)

(Relative coordinates dx,dy)

(Length, Angle)

The vertex of the polygon will be located on the second input point.

  : Circumscribed regular polygon

Input the number of sides of the regular polygon. Input the center coordinates of the inscribed circle [(Relative x,y)] and select one of the 3 input methods for the coordinate values of the radius and direction.

(Absolute coordinates x,y)

(Relative coordinates dx,dy)

(Length,Angle)

A tangent point will be located on the second input point.

  : Edge length, Center point and angle between X axis

Input the number of sides of the regular polygon. Input the center point coordinates of the polygon [Absolute (x,y)]. Input the angle between a vertex and the x axis to create a polygon.

 

Make Face

Create a plane that has the closed polyline as its boundary. In this case, it does not create a wire type polygon.

 

Geometry set

Register the generated polygon on the geometry set. The user can specify the name of the geometry set.
