Creating a Circle with a Center Element and a Tangent Curve
You can create a circle by defining the center element and a
tangent curve to the circle.
From the
Create section of the action bar, click Circle
.
In the Circle type list, select Center and
tangent.
The circle center is located either on the center curve or point and is tangent to the
tangent curve.
To define the Center Element, do one of the following:
Select a curve and in the Radius box, type the radius value
or use the arrows to change the value.
Select a point as the Center Element.
Note:
To switch to diameter, click .
In the Tangent Curve box, select a curve.
Note:
If one of the selected inputs is a planar curve, the
Support is set to Default (Plane).
If an explicit Support needs to be defined, a context menu is available to clear the selection in order to select the desired support.
This automatic support definition saves you from performing useless selections.
You can only create closed circles.
To specify the axis computation mode, select the Axis
computation check box.
Click to select the other
circular arc that is suitable for current specifications.
