- In the Reference box, select the line.
- In the Definition box, select a curve.
The law is computed as the distance between points on the reference line and their matching points onto the curve.
- In the Scaling box, define the
law amplitude by entering a value or using the graphic handles.
When the law is applied to a geometric element, the latter usually is not of the same length as the reference line. Therefore a linear mapping is applied between the reference line and the element the law is applied to, resulting in a scaling of the law.
- Select the Heterogeneous Law
check box to define the applied law unit (none for ratio law; degree, radian, or
grade for angle law) and the distance measure units (current unit by
default).
Two conversions will be performed during the law evaluation:
-
Click OK.
-
From the Wireframe section of the
action bar, click Parallel Curve
 .
- In the Parallel Curve Definition dialog box, click
Law....
- Select Law.1 from the tree.
- Click Close.
The law is applied to the selected element.
