Summary
The CP_SHOWPLARCS command creates visual connections between the endpoints of arcs and their centers in polyarcs. This is useful for better understanding and visualizing the geometry of arcs within polyarcs, aiding in analysis or presentation.
CADPower -> Draw Tools -> Rule – Based -> Draw arc-ends to arc-center connections in arcs polyarcs
Key features include:
- Arc-End to Arc-Center Visualization: Draws lines connecting the endpoints of arcs to their respective centers, providing a clear representation of the arc’s geometry.
- Layer Placement Options:
- Source: Draws the connections in the same layer as the original polyarcs.
- Current: Places the connections in the current active layer.
- Specify: Allows the user to choose a specific layer for the connections.
- Layer Selection Dialog: Use the “Select” option to easily choose a layer for placing the connections.
- Delete Original Objects Option: An optional feature to delete the original polyarc objects after drawing the connections, ensuring a clean and simplified drawing.
The CP_SHOWPLARCS command is a valuable tool for CAD users working with polyarcs, offering enhanced visualization and insight into arc geometries for analysis, editing, or presentation purposes.
