Create splines for already existing polyline or region objects.These splines are themselves polylines or regions, possibly with additional nodes on the spline curve!
Supported object types: Polyline, Region
|
•In order to create a spline, the layer, which contains the original object, has to be editable. •Pay attention that selected spline objects are not interpreted as tangents, as their direction is changed by the spline adjustment. |
1.Select a polyline or region object.
2.Select the Spline function.
The Max. tolerance determines the maximum divergence between the line connecting two nodes and the actual spline arc.
Only free or closed splines will be created from region objects, polylines with several segments, polylines with connecting ends and polylines with no tangents nearby.
In order to find tangents MapCAD additional searches for tangent connections: Lines/polylines inside the search radius around the start and end nodes of the selected object. If more than one line/polyline is found, the closest is used as tangent.
The Delete source object option deletes the original object (even if the layer is not editable), while the spline is preserved.
