Transform Orient > Curve to Edge |
The OrientCrvToEdge command copies and aligns a curve to a surface edge.
Steps
Command-line options | |
---|---|
Copy |
Specifies whether or not the objects are copied. A plus sign 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. |
Type subcrv to select part of a curve as input. |
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.
