The OrientCrvToEdge command copies and aligns a curve to a surface edge.
Steps
1. | Select a curve near an end. |
2. | Select a target surface edge. |
3. | Pick target edge points along the edge to align the curve. |
Command-line options
Copy
The Copy option specifies whether or not the objects are copied. A plus sign appears at the cursor when copy mode is on.
Note: The RememberCopyOptions command determines whether the selected option is used as the default.
FlipSurface
Changes the normal direction of the surface.
ReverseCurve
Changes the direction of the curve.
Note
● | If the curve already starts on the edge, it is copied to a new location on the edge with the same orientation as the original curve had to the surface. |
● | If the curve does not start on the edge, it is rotated so the picked end of the curve is tangent to the surface and perpendicular to the edge. |
● | If the curve tangent at the picked location is in the same direction as the active view's construction plane, the curve is not re-oriented to be tangent with the surface. |
