概要
The
Sketcher CreateArcOfEllipse tool creates an elliptical arc.
Arc of ellipse (white) with internal geometry (dark yellow)
使い方
See also: Drawing aids.
Pos-OVP = Positional On-View-Parameters.
Dim-OVP = Dimensional On-View-Parameters.
introduced in 26.3: OVP support added.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the
Elliptical Arc button.
- Select the Sketch → Geometries →
Elliptical Arc option from the menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: G then E, then A.
- The cursor changes to a cross with the tool icon.
- Pick the center of the arc. Or with Pos-OVP: enter its X- and/or Y-coordinate.
- Pick an endpoint of one of the axes of the arc, this also defines one of its radii. Or with Dim-OVP: enter this radius and/or the angle of this axis. The angle is relative to the X-axis of the sketch.
- Pick the start point of the arc, this also defines the other radius of the arc. Or with Dim-OVP: enter this radius and/or the start parameter of the arc. The parameter is relative to the first axis of the arc. No constraint is created for this parameter.
- Pick the endpoint of the arc. Or with Dim-OVP: enter the end parameter of the arc. The parameter is relative to the start of the arc. No constraint is created for this parameter.
- The elliptical arc is created, including a set of internal geometry (major axis, minor axis and two foci), and applicable Pos-OVP and Dim-OVP based constraints are added.
- If the tool runs in continue mode:
- Optionally keep creating arcs.
- To finish, right-click or press Esc, or start another geometry or constraint creation tool.
補足
- Elements of the internal geometry can be deleted. They can be recreated at any time with Sketcher RestoreInternalAlignmentGeometry.
- Once created, the major and minor axes of an elliptical arc are strict and cannot be swapped by resizing. This is a consequence of the solver parametrization and the same strict behavior of OpenCASCADE. An elliptical arc must be rotated to swap its axes.
