Some lines need to curve, and in this section, we deal only with curves of various types. To get your curve right, you can click on the line and drag it around to get close to what you require and there are 'handles' that you can click and drag around until you get the right shape that you're looking for, or you can use exact degrees.
Important note:
The direction of the curves iss shown by an arrow on the curved line. This is important when you create a new pattern piece.
Click on the first and then second node. You may now drag the handles around to make the curve more pleasing or use length and angle formulas to get a more precise curve
Name: Name of the new curve
First point: Starting point of curve
Second point: Endpoint of curve
First point handle - Length: You can define a fixed length or use a formula for adaptive / calculated values
First point handle - Angle: You can define a fixed angle or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
Second point handle - Length You can define a fixed length or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
Second point handle - Angle: You can define a fixed angle or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
Click on each node in turn and press enter when done. You may now drag the handles around to make the curve more pleasing or use direction and angle formulas to get more precise curve. Hit Enter to finish selecting new points
Name: Name of the new spline
Point: Selected point of pathlist
Path: List of selected points
First control point - Lenght: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
First control point - Angle: You can define a fixed angle or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
Second control point - Lenght: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
Second control point - Angle: You can define a fixed angle or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
Create a curve between two nodes which uses other nodes to anchor the control handles
Click on the first node, then the first control handle node, then on the second control handle node and then on the end node. The curve is calculated and can't be modified by individual values.
Name: Name of the new curve
First point: Starting point of curve
Second point: First control handle node
Third point: Second control handle node
Fourth point: End point of curve
Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
Create a curved path that passes through multiple nodes and uses other nodes to anchor the control handles
Click on the first node, then the first control handle node, then on the second control handle node and then on the next pass-through node. Continue in this fashion to the last node. Press enter to complete the curve. The curve is calculated and can't be modified by individual values.
Important note:You need to select a group of 3 points after the first 4 point to continue the spline, where the first point of the three will deterine the length of the handle.
Name: Name of the new curve
Point: Selected point of path list
Path: Selected points
Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
Click on the first curve and then on the second curve. A node will be placed where the two curves intersect. If the curves intersect more than once, you will then be able choose which intersection you would like, i.e. between the highest or lowest or the leftmost or rightmost point of intersection
Name: Name of the new node
First curve: First selected curve
Second curve: Second selected curve
Vertical take: Highest point (intersection at the top), Lowest point (intersection at the bottom)
Horizontal take: Leftmost point (intersection on the left), Rightmost point (intersection on the right)
Point- Intersect Curve and Axis (Shortcut C, X)Edit
Create a new node along a curve at an angle from an axis node
Select the curve and then the axis node. Enter the angle from the axis node where you’d like to place a node
Axis point: Start point of axis. It's the second point you selected
Curve: Curve you selected first
Name: Name of the new node
Angle: You can define a fixed angle or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
