| Overview |
| The Power Circle tool provides a convenient way to create either simple precise circles or circles defined by 3 or more bezier points. The Points may be subsequently edited to form non-circle shapes. For example if you wish to create a closed bezier curve with 10 points this would be an easy way to do it. Usage: 1) Select the type of curve to be created. 2) Select the desired number of points if a Bezier Curve is created. 3) Click and Drag to create Circle. 4) Click "Edit Sketch" and edit points if desired. 5) A single Click will instead of Click/Draw will create a circle using the previous parameters. |
| Power Circle Parameters |
| Radius: Radius of the Circle. Curve Type: Sketch Circle Curve: specifies that we create a sketch circle that uses 2 points (center and point on on circle). Single Bezier Curve: specifies that we create a single Bezier curve with "smooth" points. NURBS Curve: specifies that we create a rational sketch NURBS curve with 9 control points. Bezier C1 Curve: specifies that we create a single Bezier Curve with C1 Points. Bezier C1 Segments: species that we create multiple Bezier Curves which start and end at C1 Points. Number Points: specifies how many points to use in the construction of the "Bezier" type curves. |
