Curve > Assign

Overview of Functions

This function assigns a curve library created into a line object or an alignment on the work plane.

Details of Functions

Assign Tab

Library list

This function shows the curve library list defined in the project.

Assign library

This function selects the method to assign a curve library.

  • By Layout: Assign a curve library to alignment in a layout. The assigned Curve library will be updated based on the alignment in the layout.

  • By Select: Assign a curve library to a line object.

  • By Draw: Draw a line and at the same time assigns a curve library to the line. The draw function comes with some of the sketch functions.

  • Layoutwise: If it is checked on, the whole alignment will be selected as one line and a curve library will be assigned to the whole layout.

Alignment

Define the constraint relationship (Offset, Rotation) between a Curve library and a line object that will be assigned.

  • Options
    The options below are activated when ‘Assign library> By Layout or By Select’ is selected.
    - From Start: Assign a curve library in a forward direction (from the start to the end).
    - From End: Assign a curve library in a backward direction (from the end to the start).

  • Offset-y: Apply offset value in the y-axis based on the line to assign.

  • Offset-z: Apply offset value in the z-axis based on the line to assign.

  • Rotation-x: Input the rotation angle in the x-axis(Based on the positive direction of a line object to be assigned).

  • Rotation type
    - All: Rotate all Beta angles of offset curves and single curve constraints in each object respectively.
    - Rot. Offset: Only rotate the offset curve for each object in a curve library.
    - Rot. Obj.: Only rotate the Beta angles of the single curve constraint.

Preview level

This function selects the level of Preview that appears on the work plane.

  • Bounding Box - All: The preview shows a box shape that wraps all selected objects will be displayed.

  • Bounding Box - Each: The preview shows several boxes wrap each selected object will be displayed.

  • Original Model : The preview shows the original shape will be displayed.
